Surgical Change
I had my appointment with my awesome surgeon this morning---what a fabulous and caring staff and I like everyone including the surgeon!
I was all set to be prepping for VSG but due to some issues I have with my esophagus, I may have to have the gastric bypass. Not complaining at all, just kind of a re-route in my head. Still, all possible appointments are scheduled at this time and I am aiming for March.
Has anyone else had in mind what they wanted for surgery and then had to re-gauge things? Curious, really. I respect Dr Nair and his staff and their knowledge.
Please weigh in if you have had an experience like this and help me wrap my brain into RNY when I have spent several months researching VSG.
I didn't have RNY but I also had my surgery changed three weeks before surgery, after months of planning for the DS. The office informed me that there was no way my insurance provider was going to pay for the DS because my BMI wasn't high enough. At first I was upset about it, but within a day or so I settled down. I had my VSG Dec. 31 and I think I'm going to be fine with it. I'd just advise you to research your surgery thoroughly so you'll be fully educated about it.
