Crippo

Hey this is my first time posting on anything like this.. Just trying to find out as much as I can about this process to stop my mind wondering. Currently I have seen bariatric nurse and dietician. I had a sleep study in December and due to some miscommunication I missed the follow up appt which I now have on Wednesday. They have told me that I need to be under a cpap for at least 6 weeks before the anaesthesiologist will do anything. My dietician gave me the pre op diet and told me how much they want me to lose before surgery ; not to follow the pre op diet till they tell me to though. Have to go for an endoscopy and providing all is well I should be getting an idea when I can have surgery reasonably soon Currently weigh 178kg. Not proud of it but am here to change for the rest of my life and be able to actually live it Sorry if I've rambled on a bit. Dan

Thanks for the support. My choice would be bypass but ultimately I will make decision on what's recommended by my surgeon. I will definitely try my best to keep you updated. Nice to have somewhere to come and read about all the thoughts I have been having and that I'm not alone in thinking them. Dan

Still undecided at the moment. I don't wanna have the band , just looking for what people think may be the best for me, but most likely sleeve or RNY
