NEWBIE ROLL CALL!
Name: Christine
Age: 41
Date of surgery: expecting 7/26/10 - hoping for 7/23/10
How you found out about OH: from an RNY coworker of my husband's
Nik: I have to tell you that I'm so happy to be a part of the RNY group and it's because you're here. Really, really! Here's how I'm positive of this... I chose RNY in January when I first started my research, and loved following this site and reading your posts. Dr. told me in April the sleeve would be available through my insurance so I changed because it seemed to fit my horrid vitamin deficient body. I went to that forum and found a lot of great people, but many negative ones that weren't quite to nice. Missed RNY fam and your posts... Found out 6/21 insurance wouldn't cover sleeve, so back to RNY.
Met with Dr. on 6/24 and he said DS might be better because of vitamins & insurance would cover.
Chose that, went to forum, and again, some not so nice comments from some, so I was a bit turned off. Got a call from Dr. on Saturday and said he rethought it (I'm a "light-weight" at 42.6 BMI) and would recommend RNY and we'd deal with vitamins. So, I'm back here and way happy because YOU ARE HERE and are so extremely positive and supportive which sets the entire mood for this group. Thanks and I really look forward to being a part of this group forever!!!

No date yet, but only have two pre-op appts left then my info gets passed on to my surgeon and she decides where we go from there! Hopefully end of August/beginning of September!
I found out about it through my cousin who also had WLS. I'm so glad she told me about it, the information I have gotten is priceless and I really value everything everyone says!! It's great to have a place to go and read about what other people are struggling and succeeding with and what I can expect.
