~ Dr. Fisher gave Nicolie and I the packet on the sleeve at the end of our appt. We were not sure why and though... oh god another choice for us and why???
Well after reviewing it... I think probably because it is less invasive that bypass becuase there is no rerouting. i think he was listening to me when I said I do not want to be malnurished and am concerned if I have a pregnancy later ( which Kaiser pretty much acts like that is not a good idea after any of these surgeries- He told us we should lose 50 lbs and give ourselves a decade to have kids and come back for surg later! ahhhhh I am tired of this battle....But after the discussion I realize its becuase he wants us informed and know our options...k I am rambling) I told him I felt Gastic was so Invasive and I am not comfortable with rerouting my insides! I do have acid reflux and I do not want to live a life with a burning gut and throat. The packet really had all the info we all have read about diet and complications with gastric surg, it basically had the diagram and the overview of what the sleeve is. No more info than we know. No why as to why we should do it,No reason for why they do this now too... nothing. I want LAP-BAND®.
