The last month has been very tumultuous for me. I mentioned in my last post how I was being impatient about not having my advice yet. By November 25th I was so stressed out I would start crying out of the blue, I got extremely anxious and was very tired because I couldn't sleep. I was so stressed that I had to call in sick at work, so I called my g.p. to see if there was anything I could doand he prescribed me with Oxazepam. Because oxazepam affects your driving ability I had to stay home from work for a week. I stayed home one week and after that I went back to work mornings for a week, I am now back working fulltime.
On November 26th I received a letter that crushed me: Vitalys wrote to tell that I was not suitable for operation and I had to contact my g.p. to hear the reason. So on to the g.p. I went on the 27th. Basically the NOK thought I hadn't tried enough to lose weight and I was told to go see a dietitian and I could come back in a year. Basically their advice was the complete opposite from what they told me on the day of my multidisciplinairy screening.
Then on December 6th my p.g. called me out of the blue: he had received a letter from the hospital. The surgeon had discussed my case in a multidisciplinary team meeting and they had changed their minds and now I was positively adviced for surgery!
I don't know which surgery I will get, I'm hoping on a gastric bypass but it might be a sleeve. The hospital doesn't do a lot of banding. I'll have to wait and see. My pre-operative screening is on January 22nd and the preliminary phase leading up to my surgery start on January 28th.
