I did it.
Hi everyone,
Most of you know I'm having a revision from my old Stomach stapling VBG in May. (staples came undone)
Well I researched this to death, I was given a choice of Re-stapled, RNY gastric bypass or to have the sleeve.
At first I chose the RNY in his office, but once I got home I did my homework.....I just called the hospital and changed it. I've chosen to have the Gastric Sleeve!!!!
The admin clerk took the info, and she doesn't feel there will be a problem since he gave me the choice last week. She said if I don't hear back, then that procedure will be the one!
Okay, now I really am excited! I wanna be sleeved! My reason for changing my mind....I don't need the malabsorbtion that goes along with RNY, I just need a fix for restriction. (It's okay if I have to have RNY in the end due to old surgery complications though) But I had so many problems with food stuck in my band, so I can't just get my pouch re-stapled and need something else. I pray that band won't cause me problems when it's time for surgery. It's been in there for 20yrs. .........BAND BE GONE!!! lol
