After doing a lot of research and consulting with my surgeon, I'm confident committing to moving forward with RNY. However, I wouldn't feel so confident without having been able to do a lot of initial research, and a big part of that was reading these boards and being able to ask questions. Most specifically, what I read here gave me a lot of really good questions for me to discuss with the surgeon, who not only addressed my concerns, but his answers helped me assess whether I was confident moving forward with him as my surgeon (the answer was yes).
I feel really prepared to go into this process (I hope to start the physician-monitored diet in Jan, shooting for surgery a few months later), but it took me a while to get to this point. So, a big THANK YOU to all of you for sharing your stories, ups and downs, and encouragement.
