I know that I'm only half way through my insurance mandated weight loss, but I am getting SO excited! I had my third weigh-in today and lost another five pounds and was able to get all but one appointment made. The last on (for my endoscopy) can't be made until after I see my GI Dr. at the end of September. One of the best parts of today was all the encouragement I got from everyone at the family practice clinic I go to. My Dr. and all the staff are very happy and excited that I am having RNY. They have worked hard to make sure that I have all my weigh-in appointments when I need them and are more than willing to work around all the Bariatric clinic appointments. After losing my two most encouraging doctors at the first of the year, I never expected to end up with two doctors willing to do everything they could to move me forward on this exciting journey!

I am one week behind you. Monday is my third weigh in. It really has gone by quick. I am guessing is probably won't have surgery until January though. It is exciting.

My insurance requires 6 complete months of overview by my doc so that will actually require 7 weigh ins. Then insurance submittal and approval..then surgery scheduling. I will be happy IF I get early January...but that really is the perfect time for me.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
