Despite EVERYTHING, I am going through with surgery!



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes:I have decided to go through with having the sleeve surgery, despite my first attempt. I am going to a different doctor at a different facility. I am having and EKG and stress test here in the states first to clear me. The facility that I am going to is aware that I had complications and are going to come up with a plan that will give both them and myself peace of mind that I will come through successfully.

I feel that I need to do this for several reasons, one being that I can't live in fear of surgery, two because I am stubborn and want to kick that crappy memory in the butt, and three because I have been assured by my doctor (whom I have a long history with) that there should be no reason for me not to do well, four because I think what happened was bull sh*t and I don't believe the anesthesiologist was forthcoming with me about what medication I was given. Last but not least I WANT A SLEEVE DANGIT!

It looks like surgery will probably be next month after my children start back to school and it will give me a little over a month to recover before I head out of state to visit relatives for a two week vaca.

So for those who were rooting for me. I appreciate it.
