Hi everyone, I just had to let you all know that I am on cloud nine today as I finally got my insurance to approve the surgery and got my date set in stone for the 28th of February 2003. Thanks to all of you that have sent such great support to me and well wishes. Now I will also be on the other side very soon.

Good luck and best wishes on your big day! My open RNY is on 01/13/2003 in Indiana. God bless you and hope you have a speedy recovery and speedy weight loss!

Hi Kenneth! I just had my consult with Dr. Curci last week and was impressed with him as well. He was personable and knowledgable but was willing to admit when he did not know an answer (i.e. nutrition) and directed me to the proper person for the correct answers. I was so upset to learn my surgery date is 3/12/03, but I know it will happen when it is suppose to! Take care! I will look forward to your update!

CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING YOUR DATE!!!! I know it seems like a looooooooooooong wait until your surgery, but it will sneak up on you!! Why not get a head START!! START YOUR WALKING. START YOUR PROTEIN. START YOUR WATER. START YOUR EXERCISE!!!!!! Get a HEAD START and you will be doing yourself a big favor. Your surgery will go easier and so will your recovery. I had an open rny in Oct 2001 and have lost 215 lbs so far. Have about 30 more to go. YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!! I invite you to click on my name below (only on your surgery page on AMOS) and read about how I have beat old MR. DEATH twice, so far that is!!!!!!!

HI KENNETH I just want you to know that I am praying that you will have a quick and smooth recovery to the losing side. LORD BLESS

Well today I finally met with my surgeon and have now set a date for the surgery. It will be February 19, 2003 for an open RNY. I feel better and more relaxed about everything now and am looking forward to meeting with our local support group next Tuesday.

I like to copy and paste things that resonate with me, postop tips etc. in my own file. I wish you well in your WLS journey. Feel free to e-mail me any time if you have questions. Most people around here are very friendly and willing to help! :)
