Hello all.
I had my nurse specialist appointment on Monday and all went well.
The only problem is that due to my eating habits I'd been hoping for a bypass.
The nurse has now said that due to my existing bowel condition and stoma they might only be able to offer my a band or sleeve. I'm not a large eater & my problem is that I snack on chocolate/biscuits/fizzy pop etc. In other words the things a bypass helps but band/sleeve don't!.
I was wondering what your opinions were on this. I'm a year into my journey now and feel like walking away as I don't want to go through an operation that won't help me and will reinforce my failure.
Thank you!
