Taking bigger steps


This is Mr. Harry Frydenberg, my surgeon. Reid and I had a lovely chat with him on Friday and he has given me two options:
1. The Lapband

2. Gastric Sleeve

Check out the links to see a detailed explanation.

The second option is more radical but there is no need for follow up visits. This would save on fuel, accommodation and other travel costs over the first twelve months.

I have to go to a psychiatrist and a general practitioner and then back to Harry after they have assessed me as fit for the operation.

We have chosen October 20th tentatively because the general practitioner is hard to get into and Harry is having three weeks off in September. We have a wedding to go to on the 17th so that will be my last hurrah.

If by some chance I can get back to Harry quickly it will be sooner but not likely.

If you have some thoughts about the choices, please leave a comment.
