Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

Also I start my liver shrinking diet Thursday when i can buy my protein shakes!!!

I submitted to insurance today and if all goes well then my surgery will be June 12. This process has been so fast I just started the whole thing May 5!!!! I'm really hoping my insurance approves and I don't have to change anything so I can keep my June 12 surgery day!!!

Wow. Started on May 5th??? What were ur requirements? I thought my process was fast. First appt was 3/22 and my surgery is June 5th. And could have been May 29th.

My clinic wanted to get things done fast since I change insurance in Aug. I was required to write a 10 page research paper, email 10 previous patients, see psychologist, surgeon, nutritionist, primary, labs, a family support letter and a 16 paragraph consent form. After my first seminar I cut out sodas, an they made my appointments after all my appointments I turned everything in yesterday and today se sent it off to insurance. All those requirements were for my clinic and not my insurance for insurance I had to have a BMI over 40, pay my portion, and to see all the specialist.

I've been waiting to comment on this thread. I HAVE A SURGERY DATE. Well as soon as I call tomorrow to confirm. June 5th!!!!! I'm so excited for my new beginning.

Thanks!!

Time for a a little Q&A!

What is everyone's biggest dream out of getting RNY in June?? -- maybe wear a pair of shorts, just be skinny, or even to spark some extra fun in your relationship with your new (hopefully more flexible) body?? haha

Mine is to FINALLY not be "the fat girl". Holy moly am I ever excited to drop that title! Lol as long as I can even remember, I've always been the token day girl in every room.

My 2nd is to be able to buy a "normal" Halloween costume from an actual costume shop. For years I have been inventing my own and I can't wait to just buy one and feel like a hot honey!

I've got a couple. I want to be able to wear some heels with my suits when I go to court. I hope having less weight makes the job easier on my poor feet. :-) I also want to not be the fat girl. I'm in the same boat as you wannabewifey. All my life, I was the fat kid, the fat friend, the fat lawyer...I just want to be small. Not skinny, just small. And I totally plan to have a semi-nude photo shoot, with makeup galore and super big hair whenever I hit my goal weight...the amount of nudity TBD. LOL

I just want to look good in jeans and a t-shirt, be comfortable around other people, to be healthier, and to be comfortable with myself. I'm always covering up because of my size, even when I'm at home

Hi Facebook Friend! I totally understand! I'm going to dress like I'm on the runway going to work lol

Haha bjroberts417,

One thing I am totally excited to do is a boudoir photo shoot for my finances wedding gift after I hit goal weight. I won't start planning our wedding until I know I will be skinny and look pretty in my dress. Lol pathetic, I know.

Sure I'm ready to have a figure and not look like an m&m made with too many nuts, but mainly I want to dance without being out of breath and red as a tomato after the first song.

I wanna shop at a normal store and juat buy something straight off the rack and know i can fit in to it. I want to not be drowned in sweat when its hot. I wanna be confident no matter who Im around. I wanna feel like what people actually sees is actually what I feel like. I never felt that what i see in the mirror is actually who i am. Im no super model but im not this either. Im a curvey happy go lucky tattooed rocker chick at heart. I want the way i feel to match the way a look.
