Hi Jacque,

I would like to wish you a Happy early Birthday! Please tell me what RNY means? I am going to get the sleeve if I qualify and if my insurance pays for it. My daughter got the sleeve in October and looks great. I am really proud of her!

It's what I guess they used to call gastric bypass. They leave just a pouch for your stomach and re-route your small intestine and attach it to the pouch. With RNY you have both restriction and mal-absorption. I didn't want mal-absorption so I decided the sleeve worked best for me. That's the short version.

I hope you qualify. And best wishes.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for responding to my post. My daughter called me and told me about the responses. You know my daughter as "SJMomof2boys".. I am going to a sleeve seminar this coming tuesday. I am nervous but after hearing all of your posts I feel much better.

Thank you (c: I would like too keep in touch with all of you. I need all the pushing I can muster.
