in canada it is completly covered. I could have had an earlier surgery date but I'm in no hurry, have an important conference to attend in early may then i will have the surgery done. Well the conference is same day as surgery so the conference is out.

My fear:

-Restless leg syndrome, this seem to be common and i do not want this.

-Complications, worries me a bit.

-Was at 320 lbs lost 50 lbs i'm 6'3" so i'm tall, this surgery is for my diabetes. Im very optimistic that this will help this greatly.

Thanks for listening

do you suffer any restless leg syndrome or any other complications, I really worried about complications. I do not have restless leg now and would not want to have this after the surgery. also, I wasn't worried but now that the date is set in stone, I am getting apprehensive.

I suppose a little bit of this is normal.

Thanks for listening.

My restless leg kicks up only when my thyroid is off - same post-op as pre-op. Just have to keep having thyroid checked as I absorb the thyroid replacement med differently now.
