Hi everyone, I'm a little late in getting on here, I have my sleeve in 2 days, June 26. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts, but have felt that at times it was a little overwhelming. Do anyone of you understand where I'm coming from? I have an awesome doctor and team so I have been well educated in every area. I am excited and a little afraid mostly of how I will feel immediately after surgery. I hope I don't wake up with nausea .
I have had a great experience kin the past 3 months. Lots of appointments since early April, but things went like clock work. I was approved within one week of my paperwork being sent in . I feel terrible for those that have to wait so long for an approval, it was stressful for the week I waited !!!! My main goal in this process is to get off my meds. I am insulin dependent diabetic, 5 shots a day . High bp, high cholesterol ;(. With bmi alone, I didn't qualify. However with these co- morbid conditions (uggggh) I did. Don't get me wrong I'm 5'1 and losing 70 lbs would put me at an ideal weight for me. I guess you could say all along I have said losing the weight will be a bonus, but I want off these meds. I have lost weight on my own before, but being on insulin it makes weight loss much harder. I have to practically starve to lose ;(
So I think I have made an informed, conscious decision for my overall health. I am 55 years old and I am hoping that this will give me some added years and more enjoyable one at that!
Any suggestions would be helpful !
