Surg Consult
Jul 28, 2010
I had my surg consult yesterday. I am having the lap band. I have a history of ulcerative colitis and the RNY may cause some episodes. He told me that they are learning to be more aggressive with filling the bands now and that the long term outcome (3-5 yrs) is equal now.
My insurance has been a stickler for some others so we will see what happens there. Next step is the meeting with the dietitian, athletic trainer and behaviorist in August. I will attend one of the group support meetings next week.
It doesn't seem real to me yet. Odd suddenly acknowledging that i am fat to people where I preferred to pretend like i wasn't and hoped they didn't notice before. Like not talking about the elephant in the room.

Ok so i had my phsyc eval yesterday. it seems that I am sane after all! Lol. she asked me about my relationships including my sister. Yikes that wasnt easy. It brought up the gut wrenching pain when mark told me he was no longer attracted to me. what a jerk...actually there is not a harsh enough word for him.
i cannot still decide between land and bypass. I have been have trouble sleeping at night thinking aobut it. I dont know if I am will ing to say i will never have an ice cream or a piece of pizza ever again and go bypass. but isnt that the problem....fodd comes first. maybe I will not longer crave those things and they will take a back seat to everything else like they should. Really food has always come first, so now maybe it is time for ME to come first. I fear that a band will allow me to cheat the system and will be another failure for me. I am leaning towards the bypass but feel like people will not support that decsion as well. I am not sure what to do . I hope dr vollsted wil help me decide.
