My heart goes out to you.

I am so so nervous I'm having surgery tomorrow yay 8/25/2016 My new birtdate

When I started my journey my insurance company Aetna approved me to have the duodenal surgery. Got my letter in the mail I called my surgeon's office and scheduled an August 25th surgery date yesterday on August 19th I went back in to see the surgeon for the last time before surgery and he says well I think we should leave you sleeved my mouth dropped. I know guys this is great news it really is but I've spent the last three months researching the duodenal switch. So my surgeon says well take the weekend and think about it I'm like okay so now I will spend the next 48 hours researching this leave so that I can call the surgeon on Monday so that they can call my insurance company and now get me approved for the sleeve. So just a quick recap when I started my journey I was 240 pounds I stand 5 foot 3 I had a BMI of 35 and yes Aetna did approve me for the duodenal switch yesterday I weighed in at 2:19 and I'm also diabetic insulin dependent for 25 years and 45 years old so I guess ultimately I did a pretty good job what do you think 8/25/2016 My new birtdate

Hi I feel your concern which is why I'm posting today as well I've been battling with diabetes Now for 25 years and I take 5 injections per day. Somehow I am looking for immediate gratification ok a cure. I really just want to stop taking injections immediately but from reading the posts I see that I'm living in my imaginary bubble however I'm still working on patients and hopefully the surgery will help me Sent from my SM-G550T1 using the BariatricPal App
