Hey everyone. Just thought I'd check in. So I've had 3 of.my.dietician appt's in so far. Everything is going good... down to 312 from 330 right now. All I did was cut out soda too, so that's a bonus. I just found out that I've been offered a new job, one that ISN'T out in the oilfield. My only concern is that, with my new insurance that I will be getting on, they're going to make ne start everything all over again. The insurance lady at the hospital (Essentia Health Duluth) has no idea and she said she wouldn't even be able to check until I get on the new insurance. Oh well!

I'm doin good here too! Just had my 2nd dietician appt, and I've already lost 13 lbs just from cutting out soda and caffeine. Because of my insurance, I had to do some psych interview before I could even take my test, which even the psychiatrist thought was retarded. But right now, the dietician said we are on track for a may surgery date right now, which works great cause my wife is pregnant with our 3rd kid, a girl, an is due in march.

I haven't found a support group up here yet, but what I've heard is that the group here at Essentia is good. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Yeah, I just started last month. I actually have my 2nd dietician appt next time I'm home. I work out in Williston, ND in the oilfield, so I'm only home one week a month, so it kinda makes scheduling difficult. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I'm all the way up north in Duluth

Duluth here!

What up, Jeff! Welcome to the group!

Hey, I was wondering... I've always wanted to get back into some weight training. Has anyone on here done any after their surgery? And if so, what have you found works for you? And do you ever use any additional supplements for your pre/post workout routine?

Well, I'm already hot and sexy... But hottER and sexyER, you bet! ????

Guess I should post here! 30 years old, 330 lbs. I've always been pretty big my whole life, but it's been getting to the point that I can neer seem to drop any more weight. I have a wife and 2 kids with one more n the way. I decided on WLS, specifically RNY because I how I've seen it work. My wife has an aunt and uncle who have both had RNY, a good friend of my family has had it, as well as my mom. So I've decide to go for it. I jus had my first appt with the dietician and the nurse to get things going. With the program I'm in, I have 7 more apps with a dietician, and I have to meet with a therapist, and then everything gets submitted to insurance for approval. I am going to Essentia Health in Duluth, MN, and I'm planning on having Dr. Bertel do my surgery. He's a great guy as well as a great surgeon

Hello everyone! I have just started the program up here in Duluth at Essentia Health. Had my first appt meeting with the nurse as well as my first meeting with the dietician. Just wondering if anyone else here on the board is from the area?
