Well I went and met with my surgeon yesterday. I mentioned that I am leaning more towards the RNY than the Lapband. I don't think she was happy with my decision. She said she would do it if that is the way I wanted to go, but with my health and all, thinks I would do better with the Lapband. I said I would leave the decision up to her and what is best for my health.When my fiancee and I got home, we went over all the good things and the bad things, the consequences, and the risks of both surgeries. He is very supportive in my choice no matter what I make. And his concern for my well being and all is 1st and foremost in his thinking. I asked him point blank which I should do, and he told me he would feel more comfortable if I went with my 1st choice, which is the Lapband.
So I am going to go ahead with the lapband and take it from there.
I scheduled my nutrition and psych eval for August 31st. At this time, I have this month and next month to finish my 6 month supervised Diet. I need to get cardiac clearance from my cardiologist, a chest x-ray, ekg, and records of old ekg's and stress tests. As for my upper GI they can use the one I had done earlier this year.
So I am right on track with everything that needs to be done to meet my goal for August 2009. Then I can go and schedule surgery once and for all.
