Chuck’s Journey: Journal Entry #3
So I have decided to have the surgery. My father had his life threatening back surgery in June 2012 and it was tremendously successful. He healed and was better than he was for 20 years. Amanda had her gastric bypass surgery and had some minor complications but has had a huge success with the surgery. To date she has lost 185 pound. Congratulations Amanda, we are all so very proud of you. I spent the next 9 mo. Kick my self in the ass for not having the surgery. I guess it just was not the right time for me. In April 2013 I broke my back in two places L4 & L5 and herniated T12. As I laid in bed suffering in crippling pain I realized I did not want to leave my legacy as morbidly obese dependant on my family to care for me. I ended up using a wheelchair and two canes. I slowly recovered and it is during this time I decided that my time is now to have the gastric bypass surgery. My primary care doctor and orthopedic both agreed that it is in my best interest to have the surgery sooner than later. My next step was to get in touch with Dr. Gedeon.
