Today I did my EGD, the last pre-surgical hurdle. Now the doc is submitting everything to UHC for final approval so I can get my surgery date.
Current Stats:
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 216
A1C: 10
Although I am only a BMI that fluctuates between 35-36 I am so scared of my diabetes and my failures to control it (10 years since initial diagnosis) that I opted for the RNY as It seems to have better outcomes with diabetes.
I am a mother of 4 kids and I want to be around to see them grow up. My husband lost both of his parents to obesity related deaths at young ages (58/65) and it really woke me up about taking a stand.
Anyways, I just wanted to put myself out here as I will be getting more and more involved as I get deeper in this process (possible surgery as early as October)
Thanks for listening!
