After a lifetime of being fat I've decided to go for RNY. I see my pcp in 3 weeks which is scaring the hell out of me as it my first ever visit with her. My old doc moved to another state. And I moved way out,of town of her partner. I feel weird being this up with someone new but I finally have insurance that will cover this. My company changes every year to save a buck. So I'm super nervous and am desperately praying she'll say yes and all can be done by December. Tall order I know but a girl is dreaming.

Lol stupid auto correct I just noticed it. Well maybe it's subconscious, I've been actually saying that for over ten years. I still believe it but I think it's the best option for me. Obviously conventional means are an absolute failure.

Omg I saw her to today and I was prepared to practically beg! All I said was my insurance has a barbaric program and I want to do RNY and she said absolutely we're behind you 100% I was dumbfounded. I broke down in tears of relief I thought she would say no I need to see you like a year or just no. I'm so relieved she's doing the referrals and the letter of necessity. So next step psych evaluation and the surgeon. Pray the insurance Co says yes.

Where you able to drive yourself home? If you did, how long where you in hospital? I ask because my hubby doesn't drive and I'm trying to keep this a secret from people. I'm 200 lbs overweight and I'm not getting support for this. I'm getting "oh just diet you'll lose" yeah why didn't I think of that!

My hubby is in charge of that one. If it's too pricey I may work up the courage to spill the Beans to a friend only prob is that nothing is secret for long. They will either support or I'll never hear the end of it. I've read stories here where friends don't understand and the stress of it ruins friendship. Idk I will work it out. Thanks though for the support.

Yeah will be cabbing

Couldn't agree more.

Oh that's so nice! but I'm way the heck in Chicago. I am not letting it stand in my way no worries. I like this site I can see it's the right place for me. I will be talking to.my PCp next week about praying she's on board. Along with the insurance Co My hubby supports it. But family is livid. Whatever it's my decision and I'm trying not to die before I'm 40!

Is there any exercise that RNY makes risky? I.e. crunches?

Is there any foods or drinks you can never have again?

Does the pre OP weight loss (like the liquid diet) count toward the actual success of the surgery?

Congrats, prayers for smooth surgery and fast painless recovery!

Thank you. Don't I know it. Funny I researched this 10 years ago.and was terrified now I feel at peace about it. I hope this goes though quickly and smoothly.
