Lymes Disease Calls Off Surgery (for now)

Jun 22, 2009


I just found out on Friday I have been diagnosed with Lyme's disease. I have to take an antibiotic for 30 days.
I spoke with my surgeon this morning and he said no surgery until an okay from my primary saying I'm cured. We also talked about the fact that I still am not totally keen on malsorption and the whole re-routing thing. He knows how I feel and he told me there is a good chance based on some info that is happening, that VSG may be approved by my insurance next year...(no guarantee at all). Call it wishy-washy call it what you may but its really hard because this is my body and a life long decision I have to make sure that it is 100% what I want, and honestly I can't say that about RNY so for now my surgery is off. I'm okay with it for right now, it may change completely in the future. Who knows....
