The surgery is finally happening

It has taken me nearly ten years to get the surgery approved and scheduled but finally it is happening for me.   My surgery will be August 31 at Centennial Womens Hospital.   I will have a roux en y and Dr Dyer is going to be my surgeon.   Since my best friend died October 2009 I have been even more determined to have this operation, because Linda died of complications of diabetes and I just refused to leave this earth for the same reason.  I hope to be successful in this weight loss, because the pain from failed back surgery syndrome has about spiraled out of control, and it just has to stop.    I have been a member of this forum for a long time, and have read many posts through that period that have helped me to make an informed choice as to having this surgery.   I wish all of you the best in your journey...and ask for your prayers for me as mine has taken a decisive step...at long last.

God Bless everyone reading these words.

Thank you Connie for answering this post.   I have been wondering ....since I first joined in 2006 it seems that interest in this board has almost died.   Maybe there isnt a lot of surgery going on anymore.    Thanks for your response to me.   I wish this were a week a week from now...it would all bebehind me.    For sure   I have to remember that pillow.   Great idea.  Jane

Thank you for sharing this with me.  Please tell me how you are doing.  I hope everything is going well for you.

I think the inactivity on this site is likely due to so many people moving to Facebook.
