Just beginning journey of WLS and looking for insight

[Belinda in NC 0]

Hello all... just beginning the journey of WLS and looking for insight.

I am thinking about the sleeve, but know that I will consult with the surgeon to determine the best surgical fit for me.

Just had my psych evaluation and walked about worried and confused. Who knows right?

Hi Belinda- there are several other North Carolinians on here, I'm sure they all will be weighing in to say Hi also. I've been on Bariatric Pal a couple months but according to my avatar I'm a Guru in Training, might be a kind of compliment, but if you want a friend here I am. I am still pre surg, should have a RnY early-mid March, I'm kinda resident over age candidate, 72 so I am old enough to be your grandmother if not great grandmother. You can ask me most anything, if I don't have the answer somebody else will. We have a lot of WLS veterans still active, I have learned loads from them myself. I'm having the RnY because I have GERD,sleep apnea and all around its better for me. I have tried fad and structuralized diets , nothing gave me success. I've had arthritis since 25, had 2 knee replacements, sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm over 300,lbs at 5ft9in so BMI over 45, don't want to die at this size. I'm in this to win this. I will have my surgery in Columbus, our state capital,50 miles from where I live. Where in NC do you live and where do you plan your surgery at? Please keep us posted and like I said, Ask away.
