Here we go again.... Revision 2.0
Hi everyone... I've been dreading writing this blog. But I've always wanted to be transparent, so I'm writing it. I also don't want anyone to feel alone, and the few instances of my situation that I've read from other people give me such a sense of solidarity, that I want to give that to someone else. 5 years ago, my surgeon suggested I have gastric bypass instead of the lapband. I was too scared and I said no. 2.5 years ago when it became clear that my band was failing, my surgeon suggested I revise to gastric bypass. I said yes. I learned that I needed to trust my surgeon, and so I got on board. It was the day before surgery when my insurance said NO. I was beyond frustrated and went forward with the sleeve even though my surgeon warned me that I may need further surgery if I had the sleeve due to already having GERD. So here we are now, and I'm revising- yet again. As soon as I was sleeved, the reflux got worse almost immediately. ...
Great loss! Also love your tattoo!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to be fine! I know that it's emotional to leave somwhere you've been for a while---but you have a whole new experience waiting for you to start it Monday. Life is about changes, be they good and bad---and this is one of the GOOD ones! I think that you will be super happy with your new position. You've worked hard to get to where you are, and it's paying off! Enjoy your last day!

ReplyDeleteHe really needs to stick with surgery. He's a really really good surgeon. He just destroys it when he talks. I would tell him myself, if I could get a word in during one of my appointments. HA!
