Revision or I guess I can call it Step 2.....
I am excited and anxious at the same time. I am getting a revision from VSG to the DS. It happening June 22nd. I lost 98-95 lbs with my sleeve. I was 5 feet tall and 300 lbs when got my sleeve in June of 2013. The mental part has been the hardest. I have changed the way I see myself. I also have lamented about having made so much progress, but not being at my goals. I feel stronger and better. I have been at 98 lbs lost for the last year. It told my surgeon that I think I need the next option. Dr. Prachand is at the University of Chicago around where I live. He is one of a handful that are skilled in doing laparoscopic procedures. He demonstrates for other surgeons and asked me if I would allow my surgery to be observed, filmed, and moderated in front of a room full of surgeons. Hopefully this gives me the next jump start toward my goals. It also kind of cool to be a teaching tool.
