Hello new friends! Thank you to Annette Slatton for inviting me to this forum. I've known Annette FOREVER it seems!
My name is Dinah and I'm 65 years old living in the very southern tip of Indiana. I raised 2 boys in the Nashville, TN area and 3 years ago retired and moved to Southern Indiana, my childhood hometown.
I've been working for the last year on getting approval for sleeve surgery, in preparation for my 3rd hernia repair. And to let you know, no, they can't repair it at the same time they do the sleeve cause it's too big and there isn't enough muscle to pull together.
I know each surgical center, or bariatric group has it's own rules to abide by, and I'm going to Indiana University Medical Center's Bariatric group in Carmel. But I also have several friends who have had the sleeve surgery who describe their journey a little differently than what I'm anticipating. I'm just going to go with the flow and pray for the best. LOL
I appreciate being able to join everyone here, and look forward to learning from you, and getting to make new friends.
My first question is, an email said to fill out my surgical information?? where do I do that? I didn't see it in my account section. What am I missing??
My best to all of you,
Dinah
