I saw Mr M at Sunderland yesterday, and for those of you who have read my previous posts you will know that I have had conflicting views from psychologist and surgeons as to which op would be best for me. Well, Mr M said that in the end that I make the decision, as I am the one who has to live with it. I was quite surprised 
I went to the appointment thinking that they would say that there was nothing more they could do - that a stalemate had been reached.
So, it was decision time.
Since my GP referred me, I have been thinking long and hard about surgery, and have looked at the negative and positive aspects of both the sleeve and the bypass; how life will be affected by the surgery good and bad. There are things that I can do now that I may not be able to do in future; there are things that I can't do now that I might be able to do in future.
There are some things that I am going to miss, but hopefully so much more that I will be able to enjoy and this is what I will have to focus on if an op is to be successful. Of course, if that doesn't happen and I am truly miserable for the rest of my life once I've had the surgery - well, nothings changed there.
My original instincts were that a bypass was the op for me and I am prepared to stick by those instincts, no matter what the consequences.
So, I'm on the list. In 6-8 weeks time I hope to be reborn.
