Topic: GOT PICS! Xmas' Before&After posted!
Go to my OH Profile & you'll see my just-uploaded ALBUM,
"Lauralyn's Christmas' 2002 ~ Now!"
Because I already had my surgery date, I knew Christmas 2002 would be my last in a plus-size body.
Coming up on my 7th POST-OP anniversary and I have NOT gained back any weight!
I am truly "at home" in a strong, healthy body after being a yo-yo dieter for most of my previous 50+ years prior to RNY in 2/03.
Wishing everyone a healthier, happier 2010!

Topic: RE: Surgery is Monday 21st
I'm home!!!!!!
My surgery went well. It was able to be done laparoscopically. I went home Christmas Eve.
Feeling somewhat nauseous. I felt much better Christmas Day afternoon after a nap.
Saturday I took a downturn and felt really sick, nausea, black diarrhea, abdominal pain.
I went to the ER on Sunday AM, after being there 8 hours they decided to keep me. They diagnosed a G.I. bleed. I've had to be on warfarin and Lovenox due to previous pulmonary embolism. In the hospital Sunday night to Tuesday night. My blood work shows improvement.
I feel pretty good now except for very little energy. No pain, not much difficulty with wanting
to eat. I'm very grateful to be home and have the G.I. bleed stop, That was a bit scary.
Tomorrow I start pureed food. I'm looking forward to more variety and something a little more substantial. I missed Christmas food but keep telling myself I am not giving up so much as gaining health. I'm trying to think about all the options I'll have not the restrictions. I'm sure those difficult days will come sooner than I'd like. For today my heart and head are in the right place. Today is the first day I didn't ask myself-"What in the world did I do to myself?"
I've had a bit of sadness.
Thanks for all your notes of encouragement.

They are all great in this group. My doc is Fedorak, but I've been to Fisher and know Nagy as well...I would trust any and all of them with my life...I just had a revision from band to RNY, and it's been harder than I thought...couldn't have survived without them!

Topic: Approval Imminent!!!
WELL!! FINALLY!!
I received a letter today from my insurance company that I have the PRE-AUTH for the RNY, that I have met all the requirements and...APPROVAL IS IMMINENT!!
I am waiting for Monday or Tuesday to get the FINAL word from the insurance and surgeon's office; I am sure the approval is coming sometime this coming week.
I feel like a weight (!) has been lifted and I am excited to have surgery.
The best Christmas gift is right around the corner...having the surgery!!
I am so happy I could cry, but I can't because I am at work;)
I have the time to take off, too, so I will be getting paid when I have the surgery and the week or so after. WOO HOO!!
