Time for a new begining- Revision Surgery scheduled August 8

Well each day that passes, more and more I can't believe this is coming. I am sure I will do ok, since I have been through weight loss surgery. I have to continally tell myself it's a TOOL not a miracle. I will continue counseling, and depression medication, and take 1 day at a time, knowing and dealing with behavorial issues that caused the weight gain. Yes i had medical problems, but never dealing with the underlying issues - DID NOT help.

I currently taking vitiams every day, extra vitiam D, iron, and for my hair, I started replacing 1 meal per day 3 months ago and now up to 2 meals a day. Slowing saying NO- to foods that are not healthy for me. Do I "cheat", no but learning what my limits in and trying to adjust to my new life style.

I refuse to fail I refuse- to be thinking - I will fail again.

Taking 1 day at a time, building a support system, going to classes.

I can't wait, I have been waiting 2 years for this. I can't wait until I am no longer in pain, or have to take 6 pills a day for my acid refux, and dealing with pain in my stomach.

This is my new life and I will embrace it with everything that is within me.. and I know GOD will help me and my friends and family.

I am DOING this for ME! and noone else.

JUst wondering did you have the rny over agaain. I am struggling with an eating disorder. Its better but I have gained weight with the rny.

No, it's from a sleeve to RNY...

Just curious why you are having a RNY and not a DS since you already have a sleeve?  is it because of insurance?

i was wondering also.

Good Luck with your surgery and recovery.

Please tell me that Dr. Simper will be LEAVING your stomach ALONE, and will only be doing the intestionl portion................ PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can write that in your surgery consent form.

I wish you well on your journey,... Good Luck!!

Yep, my insurance does not cover a DS- only RNY... So that's the only choice, if not DS would be my option.

Carmen what problems have you had with your VSG???

I encourage you to work towards self paying for the second part of the ds instead of settling for a surgery you don't choose. You can look into Mexico. Ungson.
