Here I go!

I am 36 years old.Currently 290lbs my BMI is 46. I have type 2 diabetes.I've decided to have RNY WLS. I see a surgeon tomorrow for my consultation. Though I think I need to see a dietician for 6 months.. not sure...Currently going to weigh****chers to lose a little before surgery...I made an appt with a physchatrist for next monday. Eager to get started... Thought I would pop in and say hello... Maybe attend a support group in the near future. The one at Victory is closest to wear I live. Thanks Marcie

Congrats on your decision to change your life! There are many folks are on this board who have had RNY so post your questions and someone will eventually answer. (It's been a little slow lately.) The support groups are also a great way to meet many people who are at different stages of their journey. Good luck! Fran in Bear (who is a Bandster, but can talk about other issues)

Congrats to you...sounds like you got a plan in place. There is a meeting at Victory this Tuesday...hope to see you there. Debbie

Hi Debbie, Do you know the topic of the meeting tomorrow at Victory? Michelle

Hi Marcie, Sounds like you are off and running with the program. I do know that as of last month the surgeon requires two support classes prior to surgery, feel free to jump into any one at any time. Michelle

Thanks all for your support! I went to baltimore to meet my surgeon today as that is in our network for insurance... Anne Lidor is her name she seemed really nice and of course I have to schedule an appt for a dietician and a physchiatrist...yup in Baltimore...I'll be a driving ,toll payin fool.... I think its time for EZ-Pass...But it will all be worth it in the END.. I hope I can make it tomorrow night... 7:00pm right??? What room??? Thanks again!!! Marcie.
