Teena A. ?? Update??

Diana,

Thank you for posting.

I  have my own opinions and no compunctions about sharing them either when it comes to my body, my life, and my choices.

Yes, I have had two Bariatric surgeons (A surgeon who specializes in the surgical treatment of obesity) and not necessarily only RNY surgery tell me that based on my anatomy and my past medical history (which I do not feel necessary to reveal – not that I have anything to hide, but it is irrelevant) that I can safely have DS performed, but based on my anatomy and past medical history that if need be reversal would be impossible for me.

Though I have not stated on OH, but I have contacted other DS surgeons with my two other surgeons findings via email/fax/mail and after reviewing my Upper GI, EGD film and reports I was told the same by them.

I am satisfied with the path that my journey has taken.

Once again I will state that all that matters is that I am happy with my choices…..THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME.

Thank you for the suggestion to contact Dr. Stewart as I stated that I would previously, but my mind has since changed.

There is no loop on my journey to close at this point other than me getting my surgery date, having surgery, praying that I have no complications, coming home to recover from surgery, and being successful with what I was given after surgery, and getting back to my goal weight and back into my size 6/8 jeans that I rocked until a year ago.

I do truly appreciate the concern and the wish of the best of luck.

Thank you very much for your help and support throughout my deciding process over which surgery (DS or ERNY) that I wanted.

I hope you have an absolutely fabulous night and weekend.

 

 

 WOW Teena!  That is awesome!  Congratulations and good luck.  Although I know you will do absolutely wonderful.  You are correct...if you are happy that is all that matters.  Trust your instincts and your doctor and you won't go wrong.

I am happy and excited for you.  There is much we could all learn from you and how you have handled it, on this whole ordeal you have just been through!

Mew,

I was wondering where you were hiding.

LMAO.

I have learned so much from the good people of this board.

You guys rock.

I appreciate your support more than you will ever know.

This journey has not be what I expected, but what does not kill me can only make me stronger right.

I have to be positive as negativity is not an option it is a hindrance and it gets absolutely nothing accomplished.

Yeah ...It's hump day.

 You definitely seem to have your vitamin regime down.  Good for you.  I agree with you...this board ROCKS!  

So did your doctor advise you to take Thiamin B1 because you were deficient?  Just curious because I have never had an issue with B1.  I did with B12 (just slightly) early on after my 1st wls but not since.

Girl....YOU ROCK... keep up the good work. 

Mew,

No... a doctor did not ever advise me to take B1.

I never had an issue with B1, but I have compiled everyones' info together with Vitalady's and that is what I came up with.

I would rather be proactive than wait for any issues to knock me on my ass.

You rock.

You and a lot of others have been hella supportive of me throughout this whole revision journey.

That means a lot to me.

Thank you so much.

Well, I'm guessing there is some sort of OH glitch -- you replied to my post above, and all I can see is what is in my inbox:

Yes, I have had...

I clicked to view and reply, but all I see is your avatar and part of your siggie box, and when I click reply, I get the above, which is your response to someone else's post.

So I have no idea what you said to me.  I presume you didn't change your mind and delete it, because it doesn't say post deleted.

Not deleted.

OH glitch.

Glad to hear things went well, and BOTTOM LINE.............  You are HAPPY
(Sorry I could not get on here sooner.... been CRAZY for me!!)


Take Care!!!!  I am hoping soon, I hear something.

Jamie,

I am sorry that things have been going crazy for you lately.

I hope they have not been to crazy and subside soon.

Yeah.. I am hella happy.

I think people lose sight of what is important and that is that they are happy with their decision.

No one else can make my decision about what I am going to do, but me.

I love it when people are helpful and answer questions and bring up valid view points, but when people attempt to force things on people I think it gets to be a bit much.

It is real easy for people to tell people what they should do, but the ones telling you what to do don't have to live with the decision that was made.

On this board I see a lot of that going on.

I am on pins and needles waiting to see what my ins, yours, and Stormy's is going to say.

I am praying for us all.

I hope you have an absolutely fabulous night.
