Sleeve to Bypass
Hi Peeps,
Having decided in recent months to go for the sleeve, a few days ago I sent an e-mail to some of my friends and family who may have questions -- e.g. wonder why I am now referring to my "sleeve operation date" or what on earth a sleeve is etc etc -- (especially as 6 months ago they all thought I was having a "bypass").
If you would like a copy of the text and links of that email, please PM me.
I'm not going to post it all here, as I don't want to upset those who have chosen to go for a band or RNY or annoy the mods with too many links (the links and info I found to compose the email are very *pro* sleeve).
As some of you know, I have been 100% open and honest (to all my friends, family and work colleagues) since the start of my weight loss journey that I am having bariatric surgery and therefore I have also chosen to be totally open about the type of surgery I will be having.
For me, the last thing I need 6 or 9 months down the line is people asking me "So how did your bypass go?" or "Oh but you cheated with a gastric band, didn't you?" and then trying (probably not very succesfully) to correct people.
Just hit me up / PM me if you would like a copy of the email I sent to my F+F (either let me know your email addy, or I will PM you back with mine).
Regards,
Sharon
