Well here is the latest. My procedure is booked for June 16, just 3 weeks away! I am really excited as I am confident that this is the one that will work for me. (It has to. It's my last resort!)
I see the dietician tomorrow and I have a pretty good idea of what to expect. I am quite prepared for the drastic changes to my life afterwards, but the benefit of seeing my children grow up outweighs everything.
I will keep you all posted on how it goes.
