iv been scareing myself.................
You and me both Cinders! I wanted the bypass, told I couldn't have it because of previous surgery ( without the consultant even looking at my innards)
Settled on sleeve that I hadnt researched. Researched it and found it not what I wanted - and as Ive scrimped to pay my own costs I want to have my first choice first and second choice if ness.
I went back changed surgeon and told I could have the bypass if no probs inside. So now having attempt at RNY at least- but I dont know what Ill wake up to! Sleeve or bypass.
I'm diabetic so hoping for resolution rate of RNY but will accept sleeve although lower resolution
Its really difficult choosing. Its hard to research as one website says ABC about an op and another place says XYZ about the same op! Ive decided Ill let someone else decide IE the consultant I'm just going turn up lie down and tell them to get on with it. Wake up and accept whats happened.
RNY scares me more then idea of sleeve with its malabsortion of vits and minerals. Also future medicine issues - can I take meds i may need in future etc.
Im also a little worried about dumping with RNY although I can see the positive side of the anti cheat effect of Dumping syndrome.
My op date has changed to 24th so I have another 10 days to bit my fingernails!
Good luck.
