No, it's the 16th. I didn't realize I typed the 26th. I edited it, don't want to jinx myself lol.

Oh that's still not too far!

You have had it done already?

Nope I have a band that I am getting removed and being sleeved tomorrow. I have trouble absorbing Vitamins unrelated to WLS. My body is just weird. I had to have an Iron infusion almost two months ago bc my Iron got so low.

I was commenting on why I chose the sleeve over gastric bypass. I don't want to have my intestines rerouted and have malnutrition problems more than you would have with the sleeve.

I have been reading various posting and found yours to be more personal. I had to have a MRI on my knee and found I have multiple tears. I have been told in the past that I should consider the surgery by a doctor. I guess I was more nervous because I would hear the negative stories about people not making it afterwards. I have my appointment with my primary doctor to see what she suggest. This time, I will obey the instruction and act on my Faith in God. I am 53 yrs old and want to live healthy life... I am sorry, I did not do this when my insurance approval me. I am encourage and want to feel better ....

I am sorry to hear about your knee. I hope that you and your doctor find the right option for you. Also, i do believe that everything is meant to be and has its timing. I was scared too because I already had the lapband fail. I also,started to get scared that I would not make it through the surgery but I tell you, everything fell into place so perfectly that I had to believe this was the right choice for me. There were so many things that all had to be perfect and they kept all happening. I told my husband that I felt I was meant to not be approved 3 years ago because I would have had the bypass and that surgery scared me and I already have problems with my Vitamin levels so I don't need the mal nutrition. I took it on faith that this was the right decision for me and I had my surgery on 6/25. I am not going to say that recovery is easy but I know that I will be able to live my life again and my back will get better and better as my weight decreases. Good luck and I will pray for you. Also, if you have any questions feel free to message me, I would be more than happy to answer them for you.
