sleeverkate got a reaction from Ms skinniness in Introducing Myself
Hi Everyone!
My name is Kate and I'm excited to find these forums! I met with my surgeon in January and have been approved by my insurance pending jumping through all the hoops they want me to do, which I have been steadily ticking off from the list. So far have had my blood work and endoscopy, have my psych eval next week.
I will be having a sleeve. Initially I thought the band would be a good option, but as I attended a seminar and listened to the options, I thought maybe I should have the full bypass. In consulting with the doctor, given that I am pretty healthy, we finally settled on a sleeve!
I'm excited but nervous. I haven't really told anyone. Most people I know are opposed to surgical weight loss and have very strong opinions about it. I feel like this is something I'm doing for me, a decision I've made for myself, and I don't really want other people's opinions to bog me down or change my mind in anyway.
So it looks like I'll have the surgery in May. I'm looking forward to reading through all the materials here and getting to know some of you.
