Aww thank you for those encouraging words just what I needed!!!

Hi Fantasstik welcome to the loser side[emoji3] how did your surgery go and how are you feeling?

Thank you! Today I’m on cloud nine. I have type 1 diabetes and after coming home from the hospital for one very uncomfortable night, I was readmitted to hospital until yesterday because I had gone into diabetic ketoacidosis. It was awful. However surgery went flawlessly and now I have knew knowledge and a better understanding about my diabetes (even though I’ve had it for 28 years 🤦‍♀️) and I’m home and doing so much better.

God is good I'm glad you made it out of surgery safe & now have the knowledge you need to treat your diabetes. I pray you continue to heal with know issues. Happy healing

I just had revision bypass surgery on March 9th in Tijuana MX and the surgery was flawless as well. Only discomfort I'm experiencing is a swollen stomach that makes me look like I'm 8 mths pregnant. I know it's due to the surgery but I can't wait until this pass.

That’s wonderful! Of course that must be so uncomfortable. I had some similar stuff I think it passed after about 3-4 days. Just do you best to let the gas pass!! Wishing you a speedy and easy recovery! Thank you for your kind words!

Hi y'all! Just wondering, I have some fears/nervousness about my upcoming procedure.

My first fear is that I wasn't truly approved and someone at my surgeon's office made a mistake. The only reason I feel this way is because on my silly insurance website, my procedure is still not listed under authorizations. However when the office manager for my surgeon called last Thursday she said she heard back from them and I was approved.

The other fear I am dealing with is my surgeon going in to to the procedure and for some reason will have to close me up without completing surgery and tell me there's no way I can have bariatric surgery. (I have had 3 C-sections, a hysterectomy, and my gallbladder removed so I guess my fear stems from maybe having too much scar tissue from those procedures?)

I do suffer from general anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder. I guess I just wanted and needed to get all of this off of my chest and maybe ask if any of you have any suggestions to calm my irrational fears and nervousness?

Thanks so much for listening if you made it this far. [emoji8]

Don't tie yourself up in nots, the doctor can not...I cannot....the office didn't..... I won't. You can, you will and you'll be just fine and dandy. You will,find out that there are good times ahead.

If you listed all those previous surgeries then the scar tissue issue shouldn't be an issue. As far as the insurance thing, don't worry about stuff you can't change. If you are truly concerned then give them a call for yourself.

Glad to read you are OK! This surgery with T1 diabetes must really be a challenge!
