I'm 50 and from Missouri. Getting RNY in December. Haven't received my date yet.

Like Cheryl, I saw a surgeon first. They have an online seminar. With my insurance, I have to fulfill three months of visits before going under the knife, a psych evaluation, see a dietitian, and give them 5 years of Drs notes that we talked about my weight. I only have two more visits to do before my surgery.

Thank you, great information! [emoji4]

Awesome, thank you! [emoji4]

Great thank you!! It Will be an awesome Christmas present to myself! [emoji4]

Thank you so much! I'm glad that I don't look like I'm going to be 50 LOL! Thank you for all the wonderful advice I truly appreciate it! [emoji3]

Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it! [emoji4]

August 16th was my first visit to my Bariatric doctor. Went well and discussed three different options, but wanted to cry when I saw what I weighed. I knew I was over 300 lbs, but didn't realize how much over. I chose to do the Roux-en-y surgery but I have 3 more visits pre-op and then once the insurance gives the go ahead I'll be in surgery by the 2nd week of December. So far, I've had people tell me I'm nuts to do it before Christmas. All I tell them is I'm so ready for this journey. I'll be 50 on the 25th of September. I'm ready for my 50's to be the best years of my life. My Dr office has given me a list of the protein shakes, liquids, and other items to have prior to surgery. They're suggesting Premiere Protein Shakes. I just wanted to see what everyone else has used. I'm trying to be proactive and see what's best before I start the liquid before surgery. Thank you! I'm adding a picture of me pre-op.
