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!!!

Kdgaines' date=' I am praying for you! Insurance turn around times are a lot faster than they used to be. Just be positive!!

Now after telling someone to be positive, I am going to do a little freaking out myself. Oh my goodness my worst fear has come to life. I woke up feeling sick. Sore throat and achy ears. I'm praying this passes over. I have 6 days till surgery. [/quote']

Also praying for your insurance kdgaines, mine was approved inside a week so you should be fine.

Wannabeawifey, get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids!!! And stay out of this heat wave. Good Lord.

I just got APPROVAL however they do not approve sleeve gastric bypass.. Even though my call to them last month said they did but they did approve rny and I am just as happy about that!!

Thanks to everyone who prayed!!

Oh any now I have to switch surgeons and probably surgery dates but that's ok because I still got approved!!

Looks like my new day will be June 20 if all goes well when she starts scheduling!!

Also do any of y'all have a blog or would you follow blogs? I've had a few people suggest it to me and I think it's a great idea just wondering if anyone would follow

I would follow a blog about your journey. Have already read through several blogs when I was making the decision to have the surgery. They were really helpful in knowing what to expect.

Just curious...I see a lot of people on here going from band to bypass. Just wondering was the band not what you guys hoped it would be or was it part of the plan to get to the bypass. I know I've heard people say they had to lose weight to be able to have the bypass done and some people started with the band due to risk factors, but then someone referred to it as the "crap band." Like I said, I'm just curious. I'm having the RNY, I never even considered the lap-band because of the amount of weight I needed to lose.

Surgery scheduled for June 24th.

Anyone who would like to follow I started today and my blog is myRNYstory.wordpress.com

An if you have blog let me know and I'll follow you!

Good info from a other thread I'd like to pass along:

Good morning everyone!

I have gleamed several tips' date=' ideas and overall supportive moments from the support groups I've been attending through St. Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence where I'll be having my RNY on July 3. Here's one that I thought may be useful to share with you guys as well.

So, Im not sure I have the story completely right, but, here's what I think I know. There's a chef named Chef Woody who has a wife whom underwent RNY surgery. Chef Woody became frustrated with making two different meals every time they sat down to eat so he has created healthy, tasty, bariatric friendly meal that everyone in the family can enjoy! He has a website, www.chefwoody.com where you can get ideas and recipes for all sorts of things that fit your place in the journey. I hope this is helpful!

Peace,
