Seeing surgeon to inquire about options on 2/8
on 1/26/13 8:52 am
So, I think I can say I'm anxious, maybe a little worried, but mostly concerned. I made an appointment with my original surgeon to discuss my options, and try to get through these hurdles of weight gain. For those of you just catching up, I'm almost 9 years out from GBS Rouen-Y. I did well, until the last year and a half. I was down to 138 Aug of 2011, and now I'm back up to about 190! Scared to death to see the scale moving in the wrong direction, and it never did until then! It was like I had my "goal glory" for a blink of an eye, and then "poof" gone! I just want to say thank you to all who have replied, and even those who didn't, and are still on the board and keeping it going! The support on OH is tremendous, and I knew by coming back to the boards I would feel that support, I will need to continue on yet another journey! All though the idea of possibly another surgery doesn't appeal to me, either does 310lbs again, so I'm determined, if nesessary I will have it to correct any issues. If it comes down to just diet, then I have even more work to do. I feel like my tool is failing me, and at first I beat myself up, thinking I failed "it", but I know better, I don't do anything different now then I did at 5-6 years out, and was still losing~hope the docs can help, and the insurance co-operates! The insurance scares me the most, as I had to fight tooth n nail to get my original surgery covered. Anyway-I'm sorry, I'm just babbling now, so I will sign off now. Thanks again everyone!!! Please pray all goes well on the 8th, and I will be sure to update everyone with any new information from my appt.
