Well it has been going pretty well. My husband had list 55 lbs and I have lost 41. The mental part is difficult. I was prepared for the physical but not the mental aspect. I didn't realize how much I rely on food for comfort. I haven't found anything to replace that yet. I still feel like something is missing some days. That causes me some anxiety. Also, I have difficulty getting some foods down. However, I am still happy I made this decision. I am now off blood pressure medicine. I am on my to a healthier me. I have 77 more lbs to go. I can't wait to reach my goal. Just giving am honest answer.

I had my RNY on 12/23 and my husband had his on 12/30. We have 2 young daughters. I was fine to take care of my girls. I even went back to work the week my husband had his surgery. I was tired but manageable. I would recommend 2 weeks apart.

I am brand new to this forum as well. I just joined today. I just got the call today as well that my insurance has approved the surgery. However, my Doctor's office has not received the approval yet. I am still waiting to hear back from the doctor's office. I am trying to have surgery before the end of the year since my deductible has already been met. I am so anxious waiting. I am glad you heard back today. Hurray!!!! I hope I receive a call really soon.
