Hello, I am a RN that works in Home Health. I meet with my MD this tues. Aug 2nd. for a consult and to sch. a surgery date..hopefully will be the middle or end of Aug. I have been battling wt. issues on and off since I was 20. Everytime I did lose wt. I always regained it -plus some extra. This time I want it off for life. I love reading others posts and journeys as they move thru this wls process. Take care.

Hi Sue, I am an RN in and Adult Medical Day Care. Background in Same Day Surgery/Med-Surg/Cardiac Rehab. I am excited to see fellow nurses here. I, too have been in the war for many years. So many ups and downs, and now no downs will happen. I never really believed that it was true that the body would stop loosing after so many tries, but now I know it is true...I am on the 6 month physician supervised wt. loss gig, MAMSI required. Hope to submit to get approval for sometime in Oct.??? Lets keep supporting each other, I was one of those medical people that didn't believe in weight loss surgery, but now know it is my only choice!!! Hope you get your date...excited for you!!!
