GB surgery
OK, I started this journey inn 2009. Got scared, and had to move anyway. Scratch that. Started again in 2010. Did classes, shrink, all the hoops and still was told I would have to wait until at least late may to be approved (because I have bipolar disorder and I am on a bunch of meds). In March we get the news...we're moving again. In June. You have to stay at least 3 months post surgery in the area you had the surgery. No can do. So I am going to have to start all over in my new area. Meanwhile, I rejoined WW online. 8 weeks, 10 lbs down. I don't want to go through the motions again, if I can't have the surgery. So I will attempt to get a bariatric referral as soon as possible after we reach our new home. But what if the PCM doc says no go? I need this surgery. Losing weight slowly will not prevent my pre-diabetes from becoming full blown. That is a major concern of mine. Also, I feel the need to do as much as I can as quickly as possible to better my overall health. Surgery is the beginning of a new lifestyle- and I am so ready! So say a prayer for me, or spare a thought, or whatever. I appreciate it. Just needed to vent my frustrations and fears.
