Oh and a little history 2 years ago during a routine heart Cath a blood clot turned loose and hit my heart and literally died on the table,,,, and I know if I don't do something I won't be around long term... And I'm raising my 2 grandchildren who are 5 and 7....and they need me... Cause they have no one else
I won't miss sticking a needle in my stomach and injecting something that could possibly cause cancer into my body!!! Bruises are a normal thing to my stomach and my fingers can get feeling back into them after poking needles into them several times a day!!!!
Well, I'm new here so I'm looking thru posts trying to find some answers to questions. I'm considering having the sleeve procedure done, so I go to heart doctor yesterday and he is very much against this. He said I will have chronic diarrhea, Vitamin deficiencys, ect...u see I weigh 215, and am 5'7,,,,but I have diabetes, heart disease sleep apnea.... And he said that because I don't need to loose that much that I most likely won't loose with sleeve.... He also said that even if I loose the weight, I'll just gain it back.... And I'm scared.... I watched my mother die, all because of diabetes... When she passed she was in heart failure, kidney failure, copd, she was blind, had neuropathy, and she died at the early age of 60....I don't want to die that way and I had thought that getting the sleeve could literally save my life, but after talking to heart doctor I am now depressed thinking I have no hope, is there anyone out there that can tell me what step to take next, the surgeon is fixing to setup a consultation... But I am very Leary to even go because of what my heart said
