My surgery is next week.
I have spent all of my spare waking moments reading each. and. every. single. thread regarding the DS on OH and proboards. Like I mentioned in my intro, I've research this surgery for almost a decade now and I think in general I have a decent handle on the ins and outs. However, after the anecdotal overload I've become increasingly anxious regarding longterm deficiencies, particularly calcium. The incidences of osteopenia/porosis seem widespread. Being in my mid-thirties gives me many years to malabsorb and suffer the consequences.
I understand no one has any easy answers. I also understand the surgery is a trade off of one set of health issues for a set of possible new ones. I suppose this is my own version of the pre-surgery freakout but I could use some words of wisdom.
