Making the Switch
Aug 29, 2010
Well....after thinking I KNEW what I wanted, I'm having a change of heart. I've done lots of research on the DS and I think I'm headed in that direction now! I have this obsession with getting rid of the threat of diabetes forever. After watching 2 grandparents die of complications from diabetes and my mom go through kidney failure and transplant for the same reason, I feel like I need to do something because I'm now hyperglycemic if not diabetic.I'm researching surgeons. I am currently with Dr. Ganta in Austin who is an AWESOME lap band surgeon. Not sure he's the best choice for DS but ONLY because he's so new at it. I've met one patient of his who seems happy with what he's done for her. She seems like a pretty amazing gal! I've heard from a lot of Texans who prefer Dr. Stewart up in Denton. I've contacted his office for information!
My insurance covers any of the WLS (yeah!) so I'm covered no matter which way I go. I've heard the addage "think twice, cut once" a lot on here and that's just what I'm going to do!
This site has been a GODSEND! The people on here are wonderful and the people I've met and had more indepth conversations with are SO helpful and willing to answer my million and one questions. I wouldn't be where I'm at now without everyone's help and I'm glad I'm rethinking and learning more.
