It was hard to decide if this was information I wanted to just share and put out there. Sharing it feels like the best thing to do...So....
After a long process of different appointments with doctor's, nutritionists' and psychologists' and 2 WEEKS of waiting to hear from insurance I have been approved to have a Vertical Gasterectomy (aka the Vertical Sleeve). It is a weight loss surgery which will be a tool to help me lose weight. The surgery is done laproscopically where they will remove 85% of my stomach. Leaving me with a stomach that looks like a slim banana. It will be able to hold anywhere from 1-5 ounces. I have been going to support groups with my mom which I must say are really helpful. Thanks Mom for all your support and help in this!!!! I am super excited and waiting to hear back for scheduling. I will let you know when I get a date.
