my surgery date
Hello Everyone.....
I have not posted in awhile and when I did last it was about Dr. L's new baby back in December but now I have news of my own.
On May 21st I will be having bariatric surgery. I am going to participate in the FDA study for the TOGA (The TOGA procedure is an incision-free treatment using a set of flexible staplers introduced into the mouth and esophagus to create a sleeve in the stomach (transoral formation of a gastric sleeve). The TOGA sleeve limits the amount of food that can be eaten and gives the patient a feeling of fullness after a small meal. )
But since I know many of you and you all know my mom I thought I would start posting as since I am stubborn and a red-head I will need support from each of you.
I go today for my pre-op appointment so will post more later......oh and the funness I am taking my kids on a cruise 3 weeks after surgery so I will be on the soft/puree stage while on the cruise. Probably the only person to ever loose weight while on vacation!
