It's been a whirlwind...

Yes, I am new. Over the last 6 months I was working with my insurance company to get sleeved. They wouldn't approve it. So, after talking to my surgeon, we decided to go for RNY. Low and behold, it took 3 days to get approved. Here I go- Valentines Day!!!

I was going to get the sleeve too and changed my mind. I am scheduled for the 6th. Mixed emotions here...

Me too. I would have gone with the sleeve had I been approved (which I think if I would have kept fighting, I would have gotten my way). But, as luck would have it, I hurt my back and had to go see my regular doc in the middle of all of this, and she felt that RNY was a great option because of it's success. I had first trended towards the sleeve because you are still able to take NSAIDS, of which I take on a regular basis for my knees. Hopefully, I will loose the weight and won't have to take anything! Best of luck all! So excited and a little scared.....
