My Bariatric Surgery Consultation in Two Days

Deborah B

Entry posted by Deborah B ·

I meet with the Bariatric surgeon in two days to be sure I'm a candidate for Bariatric Sleeve surgery.

I'm 65 years old with everything wrong with me that's on the list of co- morbitities.  Diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea , pulmonary hypertension, elevated cholesterol, shortness of breath- you name it!

Even though I'm committed to having this surgery, if I am a candidate, I'm very nervous and anxious.  This will be the biggest challenge of my life😫

I think I kind of know how you feel. I was 60 in Jan 2016 when I had my sleeve, hernia repair and gallbladder out all on the same day. I had never had any kind of surgery in my life so I was extremely nervous and anxious. However, I also knew with all that was wrong with me if I didn't have these surgeries I would not have much of a life left to enjoy. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. Just 18 days ago I had my second surgery which was excess skin removal from my huge sagging deflated breasts and a free nipple graft. The second best surgery of my life. Because of all the weight I have lost I will need 3 more excess skin removal surgeries provided insurance pays for them. When all is said and done I will be a new woman and you will be too. It will be a challenge but if I could do it I know you can too. You will feel so much better and have a happier life. Send me an email if you want me as a friend. I am willing to help you with moral support and encouragement.
