I've been accepted for weight loss surgery! This surgeon agrees that while I'm not particularly obese that losing weight should help me remain mobile longer and stay independent longer.
I'm booked for a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on the 16th of December.
The surgeon wants me to have a substantial top up of copper first and stop taking NSAIDS. He wants me to replace the Voltaren with Morphine at least until the stomach is completely healed (3 to 6 months).
I can't believe that someone has faith that I can gain some benefit from surgery!
