Me, Me, and ME

Thanks for everyone’s kind words.  My visit with Dr. Sass went great. I chose him specifically because of the number of high risk and/or large patients he has performed surgery on. SO, it’s the RNY because that is the way to do it. I will tell more later.

 

Thanks again

I'm glad you found the right surgeon and procedure for you. Like everyone else said, this has to be your decision. With your type 1 diabetes, you really needed the advise of an experienced medical professional too. Since most of us have dealt with type 2 diabetes, we really are not qualified to give you any advice as to how the surgery will affect your diabetes. I will certainly pray that you get a quick approval and have a very uneventful surgery and recovery. Keep us posted on your progress and when you get a surgery date. Oh yeah...welcome to the board!!!

That is great Keith. It is very important to find somone you are comfortable with and I'm glad you made a decision. Hoping everything goes well for you! Juanita

It sounds like you are at peace.  I am happy for you...I am biased as I had RNY myself.  I know any surgery has it's complications but I chose RNY due to the risk of band slippage, erosion, and twisting.  Also, I was going to have to have open no matter what so I chose the RNY.  I didn't put my two cents in before because I know I'm biased, lol...so I am happy for you and will keep you in my thoughts.
