Well were to start,
Hi im Jessica, and i will be having a Gastric bypass done next year.
Il tell you in a short why ive ended up been referred for weight surgery....
I was in a car accident 7/3/2006 and since then ive been seeing an orthopaedic surgeon for my legs as they are very damaged.
I was due another operation on my legs but when the next appointment came the 'weight' subject came up again.
I knew it was a problem and have tried all the diets! But its hard to exercise when im not mobile, and have braces on both legs too....
Anyway i was always a big girl, but since the accident i have put 5 stone on!
So this time my consultant referred me to see a consultant about weight surgery.
At first i was upset and scared, but the more i thought about it and realised all the pros i was actually excited!
My consultant referred me in July 09 and i received a appointment for the 3rd August 09.
Wasnt a long wait and was extremely excited
When i visited him he was a lovely man! he sat and explained the different surgerys, how they work etc etc and realised a Gastric Bypass is the best option for me.
I saw the dietitian on the 28th Oct 09, yet again not too long of a wait, and so far im having to do a food plan.
My next appointment to see the consultant is for the 15th Dec 09 which im excited because i can finally go on the waiting list
an i see my dietitian again on the 30th Nov.
Im just feeling pretty low at the moment
My husband is still in Afghanistan but due home 7th Nov so not long left... I cant do anything because of my condition.
Its been nearly 3years since my accident and im still needing 2 surgerys on my legs but that cant happen until i have my Gastric bypass done
just hoping it will be a fast waiting list! Then i can get back to been 'fixed' an get back to my life!
