Topic: RE: Lets introduce ourselves
my insurance covers DS too but there are no doctors that i could find on long island that do it. being that i live on eastern long island the trip to the city for all of these visits was just too much for me cause i work so darn much! I have heard good things about DS so best of luck to you!

Topic: RE: SURGERY DATE
Thank you! I am doing the RNY and I have to do the liquid diet for 10 days, It will proberly feel like a month just doing the liquids.
Topic: RE: Mine is April 7th - Surprisingly excited
RNY - It is the only one my insurance supports which actually turned out to be the one that I believe will best fit my needs.
Topic: RE: I'm doing the Truffle Shuffle!
I got them from zumba.com. A little expensive but I think regular excersize videos are boring so to me it was worth the money. They also give you these weights that sound like maracas. I was a little bit better at it today...probably cause I wasn't laughing so hard... My 2 year old asked for more zumba when it was over. I think he just liked the music. I hope I stick with this one cause if there is anything I hate more than dieting is excersie. Hopefuly that will change as I start to loose weight. When I was thin I loved dancing.I LOVED it. It dosent feel like excersising.
Topic: RE: I'm doing the Truffle Shuffle!
Sounds like terrific fun. I don't dance because I've been heavy my whole life. But when I'm skinny, that's something I'd like to do....learn to salsa! Where did you order the tapes? I might give 'em a try....in the privacy of my own home, of couse!

Hmmm, I think I may be one of the youngest here. My name is Starr and I'm 24. I'm married to an amazing man and we have one little boy who is 4 years old.
I've been researching bariatric surgery for about a year and a half. I personally knew that lap-band and RNY were out of the question for me. With the lap-band, I was terrified it would erode into my stomach or my body would reject it. With the RNY, I couldn't risk the intolerance for certain foods. And both didn't have sufficient long-term results, in my mind.
I will be having duodenal switch with Dr. Keshishian in Delano, Ca on April 7th 2009! Yay!

Topic: RE: thinking about easter....
I will personally be out of town recovering from surgery when Easter hits. I plan on celebrating with the narcotics my surgeon will prescribe 
In all honesty, this will be my first easter without my son. That's really the only part I'll miss.
