I'm scheduled for VSG on 1/12/11 and can hardly believe it's really going to happen! I was scheduled for bypass on 11/10/10 but my mom became ill at the end of Sept. and passed away on 11/3. I cancelled everything. Although I had prayed for weeks, I went into my last doctor's appointment undecided and let the doctor talk me into the bypass. I never had a sense of peace with it though. After much more prayer, I feel the VSG is what I should do. My surgeon's office submitted everything again and got the approval in a matter of hours. I feel so comfortable with the decision and am thankful I had a chance to reconsider. I have my pre-op this week (11/6) and surgery next week! I'm so excited!

Congrats Tandybo, RNY sounds scary with the risk of bowel rotations, etc. You'll do great with the sleeve I'm sure!
