just found the RN board

hi all!! I didn't know there was a board just for us! I had lap-RNY 092603...down 80 lbs I will definately check here again. Michelle

Congrats on your fabulous weight loss success! I just found the RN board too. It will be fun to check in here once in awhile with others who know the surgery from both sides. I'm still in the beginning pre-op screening and testing phases and have to lose 25 lbs before I'll know if I'm accepted for a RNY or not. Wish me luck.

Hi Michelle, Nice to have you. I just found it this past week, and I am tickled pink to be able to talk to other nurses. I have already made a buddy on here and we are e-mailing back and forth and supporting each other. I think you will enjoy this section. Hugs, Sherri

I do not stop in often because it is so quiet but do periodically. Good to see a few others here.

Hi! I just found you guys, too! I'm a PNP in St. Louis. I'm waiting for my new insurance to kick in before I can apply for my RNY. It's Tricare and they approve all that is needed and I meet all of the requirements. I'm really excited now and need a sponsor. Anyone here up to the challenge? Pat

Cool I'm a RN in Eugene, OR. Will be having my surgery at the same hospital I work at.
