I'm new to this app! I have been overweight off and on since my twenties. I'm 34 now. I have sleep apnea, acid reflux, depression and anxiety and fibromyalgia. I went to my seminar last night and have my first appointment on the 24. I started reading and documenting my weight and calories in February. Hopefully I got all of my stuff done so that I can take my tests, lab work and join the losers bench soon!!

Congrats on the start of your journey ????

Thank you!!!

Crap! I'm learning how to navigate this site in my phone! Congrats on your surgery!! That is so exciting! I am going to have the RNY done. Just have to jump through all the hoops with labs and appointments. I'll be having it done in Richmond.

Ladies it won't be long and you will both be joking the losers bench!! I am in VA as well in the Hampton Roads area. I was sleeved 8.6.15, just went today for my first follow up and I'm down 20 lbs since my last pre op appointment! Best thing I ever did!!!

Woo hoo!!! Great job!!!

Awesome! I love to hear that people don't regret anything about the surgery and are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work!

I am from Virginia! RNY is scheduled for Aug. 27 at Duke. Having trouble with insurance, so that may change ???? Good luck to you all!

I'm also in VA. I'll be having my RNY at Duke. I was told today to become active in this forum (I've been creeping for a few months haha) and make RNY buddies for support.

When is your surgery? I start setting my surgeons appointments and requirements on Monday. I am soooo excited.

this was me on Saturday.

5'3" and 232 lbs.

My insurance requires 6 months supervised weight loss appointments and a few other requirements before I can schedule my RNY. January is the plan. I met with my dietician and psychologist today, both gave me the green light. I just have an endoscopy and a few more months of my weight checks.

Nice!!! I have been trying since February to get this going. I was in SC and now my husband is stationed in VA. So I just have to get my surgeon my medical files. But I'm not sure how long all that will take.

Ladies, you all will be looking and feeling great soon! Good luck to all my VA peeps! Exciting days ahead!
