Thank you!!! Any words of advice for me ladies as I wait for surgery the next 12 days? Or advice for the first few days or weeks after surgery? I'd appreciate any u may have. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Hey there Aba. My class was today and packed with info!! Overwhelming but I know I can handle this. I was there with two other women - one one the same day as me & same surgeon. I also did all my labs today. No pre-op diet. Just told to eat light three days before surgery! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Wow. Started on May 5th??? What were ur requirements? I thought my process was fast. First appt was 3/22 and my surgery is June 5th. And could have been May 29th. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Yay!!! I go to my pre-op class tomorrow morning and get my labs done after that! I still can't believe it's happening!!! Where r u? I'm in Virginia. Wannabe, where r u? Although u guys might not be near me I like knowing someone else having it the same day as me!!! Comforting sort of. Ya know?! :-) Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I've been waiting to comment on this thread. I HAVE A SURGERY DATE. Well as soon as I call tomorrow to confirm. June 5th!!!!! I'm so excited for my new beginning. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Thank u!! I'm excited right now. We will c when nervousness sets in. How r u doing? How much r u down now? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Well everyone I have a date - well once I call back to let them know which date I picked tomorrow. JUNE 5!! They called today to try and said NEXT WED!!! I was like uhhh, uhhh, uhhhh. SPEECHLESS!! LOL. But I don't want to have to go back to work afterward so I wanted it so that I could just take off the last two weeks of the school year and have all summer to adjust to the newness of my coming lifestyle. I can't believe it!!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

That's good - that u felt better even if it was tough getting out of bed. How many days will u be in the hospital? How long did they have u walk around? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I'm good. Getting a date soon I hope!! How r u? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

OMG! U mean u had surgery today??? Oh gosh. How was it??? How do u feel??? Wow!!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Thanks BNM2013. Good to know. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

What is the magnesium citrate for and why did they ask u to stay in the bathroom? I hope to have surgery next month and this is the first I'm hearing about this. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Oh I thought it was a Costco brand. I will definitely look for it now. I hope to get a surgery date this week then it's all about waiting to hear from insurance. I'm calling my surgeons office Wednesday. All I have are my labs to be done before they submit to insurance; and its a TON of labs!! How is it with puréed foods? Sounds like the weirdest stage of all to me. LOL. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Ok Jeanette I have finished my stalking of ur YouTube videos and Instagram! Lol. I'm home sick today so I had nothing but time on my hands. Ur doing so awesomely!! I liked ur videos. They seem very real and down to earth. I hope to have my surgery next month. So the information u share will def be helpful. Idk y but it makes a different to me to be able to talk to and share with people that r close by even if our interaction is just on this forum. I haven't been doing the greatest with starting things I will have to do after surgery - like chewing like 25 times or not drinking with my meals or getting Water in. I know they say it will help to get u adjusted afterward. I'm gonna keep working towards it though. Again congrats on doing so well and ur determination! Oh and did u ever tell ur parents or will it still be a surprise? :-) Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

What do u mean by urself? No one to work out with or no one who is also going thru surgery to help with food and adjustments? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I personally feel they weren't willing to do the work necessary to handle my situation of having two insurances. My primary doesn't cover RNY but my second does and they just gave me this blanket, generic statement of "if ur primary ins doesn't cover it then ur second won't". And that's not true. The attitudes came after I got my secondary insurance person to call them and clarify but they stood firm on their statement which was INSANE to me when u have someone directly from the ins company telling u otherwise. But like I said God knows best and He directed me away from them and to the place He wanted me to be. I would like to lose anywhere from 110 to 130 pounds. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Sorry to heat about ur other medical issues. But the silver lining - Congratulations on the 62 pound loss. Ur over halfway there...HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Oh ok. So how's it going 6 months after surgery? I haven't had mine yet. Possibly next month. I started trying to go thru Dr. Salzberg and riverside as well but had horrible luck and interactions with his staff. They were giving me wrong information and basically got and attitude when I tried to correct them (concerning my insurance). So I'm going thru Chesapeake Regional and I'm soooooo much happier with them. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
