I am 33 years old. I am having RNY tomorrow at 7:30 AM. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm 37 my birthday is in september and my surgery is scheduled for Monday. I am so excited. If any of you have seen me on other forums I have had a hell of a time getting to my surgery date. I had a hellish time with my previous doctor and am now with a new doctor who decided not to screw me over like the previous doctor. I have been contemplating surgery since 2000 but have been truly going through the motions for the past year. My insurance does not require pre op diet but my previous doctor made me do them anyway and was not pleased with my weight loss. he continuously required more and more from me. I'm assuming he didn't really want to do the surgery on me because my insurance paid less than other insurances. That is neither here nor there, I am now with an incredible new doctor and my surgery is only a few days away. I am so excited I can barely sit still. I'm barely sleeping and doing everything I can to keep busy. This is a very active time in my life. I just moved and I'm trying to get my house together, unpacked, and painted. I also just published a book. Now its time for my surgery. SOoooo as you can see life is good right now, but extremely busy. I am nowhere near being done painting!! I am pretty much unpacked thank goodness. Any way I'm just curious if anyone else has a surgery on monday or next week.

I would tell her she is a big girl and she can do or not do what ever she wanted to. I would do what I needed to do for me and I would not worry about what other people wanted, needed, or thought. I am two years out and I had a lot of people telling me not to have surgery, but it was the best thing for me and I would do it again in a min. I am not saying it was easy and I still struggle with some  things but I feel better I can move around better I can breath better. Point being my life is better. Do what you need to for you don't worry about anybody else. Don't let anybody make you feel like **** not even your mother. I hope everything goes well for you.

 

I don't know if your local forum is very active, but it's probably worth xposting this to the Georgia forum for specific advice. 

In April, I'll be 39... trade ya!

It's true...in April I will be 30. Not sure how I feel about that just yet but it will happen whether I want it to or not!

I had a RNY on July 31st 2012. Eight Month is coming up fast!

Hello everyone! I'm almost done with everything but I need a primary physician in the ATlanta, GA area who takes medicaid and is pro weightloss surgery. I've tried two different Dr.'s and neither of them did what they say they would! It's almost a year later and I still don't have the last thing which is a letter of medical necessity! I need this before all my program stuff needs to be done over i.e psych evaluation etc. please help!!!!! Even if he or she doesn't take Medicaid. Thx Lee

lots of peeps in ontario forum :)

I would like to say congrats for your completion of the aniverssary and a word of suggestion that keep the good work out  regime in your routine as they would help you maintain the gained confidence and fitness. That would give you a good boos up for the day.
