I got approved today!!!
I got a call from my surgeons office today.....they got my approval to have my band removed and to revise to the RNY!! My surgery date is 12/15. I'm so excited....12/1 starts my pre-op low cal liquid diet. Coincidentally....my primary care dr called today - with results from an unrelated blood test - and it looks like my sugars are very high...I think I may be diagnosed with diabetes (I have to go for a retest). Looks like the surgery couldn't come at a better time. I was so nervous...now I'm just excited.
Thanks Carey! Right back atcha! Just think how skinny we'll be next Thanksgiving!!!
XOxo, Jody

That is awesome!! It was that high blood sugar test (they said I was severely pre-diabetic) that was the final straw for me to move forward with things to get the surgery. I expect that since you, and I, are in the early stages of being diabetic we probably have a very high likelihood of the surgery fixing it before it gets out of hand. Yay us!
