This is my first time on this site so I'm going to ramble, sori guys...anyway I will be having a GB in November... No actual date yet but definitely in Nov. I haven't told any of my family (Bit scared).I have diabetes, cholesterol, HT,Hyperthyroidism and of course Obesity. I use to be on oral hyperglycemic meds but had to be changed to insulin. At that stage my GP offered to forward a referral for bariatric procedure to the hospital that does these procedures. I was so sure it would be declined but alas! They sent me invite to attend. long story short I went thrice to this hospital and on the third time I'm on the list.
I had to go for scope where they found a hiatus hernia and I initially told my family I will have to go for this op to fix it. Now doctor says he will perform the bypass instead of initially fix the hernia and do a sleeve so he don't have to fix the hernia.
My daughter is the only person that has an idea. I do know if the rest of my family know they will dissuade me but I want this so much.
Please tell me if any of you guys are in the same situation or tenderly advise.
