Hi fellow RNY patients!

I received a phone call this past Monday the 24th saying my perspective date is June 30th obviously if all previous tests go according to plan!

Anyone else having their surgery this June??

I've been told either June or July! Not sure which I'm hoping for.... Part of me wants to do this and be done with the surgery, and the other part wants a bit more time! Oh the battles our brains play with us....

@@consuela11 Well I went in for my first appointment on March 20th and already recieved a phone call on Monday the 24th stating my surgery date of June 30th. My insurance requires I lose 5% of my body weight to be approved. I think it varies from state to state, company to company.

@@Melanie36 I hear ya there!! I feel like this is all happening so fast! It's so exciting but definitely nervewracking at the same time.

Thanks for the info. I had to complete 6 months seeing a nutr. I am right on the edge of where I won't be covered if I lose any weight. So I have been maintaining the past 4 months. That has been a little nerve racking. I can't lose any or gain Any.

@michelle_rose I was wondering if you could share your experiance with me? I'm also in Upstate NY and am thinking about moving forward with surgery I would like more information on the pre-op process from first contact to scheduling of surgery. How long was the process, what insurance do you have, etc. Thanks for your help any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
