The date is finally approaching. Part of me feels like it has taken forever and part of me feels like it is flying. I have mixed emotions. The liquid diet isnt bad, a 2 week one for me. Mine is scheduled in Houston for 6/23. Its about a 2 hour drive from me so I am contemplating staying the night before because the drive in would be nerve-racking lol. Too long to think. I have done this before with a different surgeon in 2012 I had the sleeve done. It went well for 7 months and then problems. My current surgeon explains that the blood vessels and nerves were not separated correctly and I also have a dilation on an improper staple line on my upper sleeve and terrible acid and bile reflux. Guess I should have been concerned the first time when there was no leak testing or any other testing done after surgery to make sure the surgery was healing properly. Well that is in the past and there is nothing i can do to change it so i must move forward and concentrate on the present and future. I am nervous to have the RNY because my previous surgeon talked me out of it and into the sleeve. Maybe that should have been a red flag. Basically he scared me out of it. Long story short, I am excited to get the reflux of bile and acid corrected and have additional weight loss finally but so scared. My current and amazing surgeon who has walked me through all the testing and questions has been wonderful to subside my fears and correct misinformation I received before. Anyone else have the same date or location?
