Congratulations!! I

Hi everyone - is anyone dealing with a hernia in addition to their RNY? I have quite a large one above my navel - hoping it can be repaird at the same time as the RNY. Wondering if anyone is dealing with something similar and what their Dr's advice is. My next step is the pre op appt (no date yet) and I will discuss it with the Dr then. In the meantime I'm anxious to hear others experiences.

Thank you everyone! No date yet. Next step is the pre-op appointment and I should hear about that in a couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted!!

I received approval from the insurance company today for my R-N-Y surgery. So thankful!!

I may consider Dr Gomez. Since bariatrics is her specialty I may feel more comfortable with her. Did you use Dr Stote for the psych consult? What did you think (ie good experience, nervous, etc). My appt with him is Friday.

Thanks I'll try to make the support group! At St V's Carmel, right? I have struggled within so much...even tonight. But I know this is right! Good luck to you!

Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum. I had my initial consult yesterday and confirmed I am going to have the rny surgery. My insurance requires 4-6 months dr visits...hoping approval is first time around! Looking forward to reading and hearing everyone's journeys...the good, bad, ups and downs. Take care!
