Approved and Scheduled!

I have finally been approved for my surgery and it was scheduled for June 6th. Now that the day has been chosen, the realization of what I am about to do is settling in. I must say I am a bit nervous, but looking forward to getting it done. Still have not made the final decision on which surgery I will have, however being that diabetes control was the reason I started this journey in the first place, I am leaning toward Gastric Bypass. I will however speak to the surgeon and take any advice into consideration. Anyway, I will post if I have any questions. Take care all.

How are you doing?
 
Wow that is fantastic! I saw the surgeon today and he said that because I have had hiatal hernia surgery he will not know what surgery he will do until he gets inside. He is hoping to do gastric bypass but may do a revised sleeve. He drew pictures of the surgery I had for Hiatal hernia and how he would do the gastric by pass and if it looked like that was not possible he drew me a picture of the sleeve he would do. So he called it a revision surgery. Now my next step is waiting for insurance approval and when I get that they will set a date. :) He felt confident that the surgery would help me and that he would do what was best.
