Hi my name is Heather and I had RNY on 11/18/13. I am looking to connect with other African American women who had RNY. Any takers?

OK! AA SLEEVERS.....QUESTIONS???? WHAT ARE YOUR REGRETS ABOUT SURGERY IF ANY? AND WHAT DID U NOTICE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AFTER SURGERY???

I just want to say hello ladies, I've been lurking around this site for a while gathering some great information (thank you). I'm at the last stages of pre-op, I have an appointment with the NUT on Tuesday and I will find out then if there is anything left for me to do. The Nervousness is setting

Well welcome. When I was finished with the preop stuff it all seemed to happen so fast.

Next month will be my 1 year Surgiversary... I'm down 102 lbs.. went from a size 20 to a size 4/6..Thank You Jesus..

I'm so envious. I feel like I'm not losing weight at all. Tomorrow makes one month. Day of surgery I was 240. I've been at 227/229 for two weeks now.

What are you eating. How much protein are you taking in. Are you exercising? If all is in order, a call to your NUT or md is necessary

Hi ladies, just received information that all of my information has been sent to the insurance company. Now the wait begins. I have Cigna, for those of you with this insurance, how long did it take to receive approval? I am ready to be a 'LOSER' in a good way
