I'm exactly the same Greyputy so that's good to hear you got through it ok. Do you know the results yet as to whether or not they'll let you have a sleeve? x
greyputy said:Hi Newcy. I rang the hospital on Friday to tell them I didn't want a sleeve. The secretary said it was upto the surgeon and they would let me know. I called gain yesterday and she said he is happy to do sleeve and gave me a date of 20th November. All in all from my original Doctors appointment I have only waited approx 14 month. Very quick by some standards
Greyputy pretty much covered it really - dumping etc but also I have thyroid disease and low iron levels so I'm a bit concerned about whether the malabsorption will mean my hormones and folic acid tablets won't work properly? Then my symptoms, low energy and mood etc would come back. Also my issue is more about portion size rather than what I eat.
That's interesting to hear Nuala, I don't really see my reflux as a problem as I'm on very low level medication and haven't suffered any pain in ages but wouldn't want it to return either.
Funny how it works Snooky, on the one hand I think I should just trust their educated opinion but at the same time my instincts are telling me to have a Sleeve... Hmmm what to do?!?
