    RNY if the umbilical hernia repair from several years ago doesn't create an issue! Otherwise it will be the sleeve.

    Oh, I hope it doesn't create an issue for you. How do they find out if it will or not?

    I have requested my surgical records to be sent to the WLS surgeon. I have all my pre-op appointments on the 15th. Hopefully I'll find out on the 15th when I meet with the surgeon. A lot depends on the type of mesh they used for the hernia repair. (Certain meshes allowed the intestines to adhere to the mesh (adhesions)). I'm also prepared to not find out for certain till I wake up from surgery. I'll be okay with either surgery as long as I can get one of them!

    How are you guys and gals feeling about it?

    I'm desperate to get it over with now. Am starting to worry that I may be one of the small percentage that has complications...but I think that's just nerves kicking in. Anyone else feeling that way?

    I personally know of one person who has had complications (requiring two additional surgeries) and is still happy with her decision to have WLS. She looks and feels great!

    I can't tell you what to do, but can only speak on myself. I have been very successful in losing weight several times throughout my life losing around 100 pounds to only gain it back. Since February I have lost 60 pounds with the Mediterranean diet and walking. I've had those same thoughts myself about continuing to diet and not moving forward with the surgery. I will be getting the surgery because I know my track record and want to utilize the tools (WLS) provides to help me be successful for the rest of my life.

    I'm in Chesterfield County and will have Dr. Carmody as my surgeon. I have one more meeting with the nutritionist, Jenna, and then everything can be submitted for insurance approval!! I've wanted this surgery for several years, but our insurance didn't cover it. Now it's finally happening!!
