Congratulations Andrea,

You are almost there.  Hopefully you will have your approval soon.  I have read your blog and it sounds like you are ready to "get this party started."

Are you having sugery in Gwinnett or up in Gainesville.  One of my friends was Dr. Richard's first RNY procedure at Gwinnett Medical Center in late March.  She is very happy and has already lost more than 50 lbs.

You have really been faithful in doing everything that you have been asked to do.  Please let us know when you get approved.

In regards to compliance, I had zapped the caffeine and carbonated drinks.  Now my dietician wants me to try eating withou****er at meals.  I have successfully done it a couple of times - -- it is hard!
Yes, I do feel like I am ready.  Last December when I began this journey I was complaining about all of the hoops to jump through, but now I have to admit that most of those hoops were a necessary part of this journey that have only made me stronger and more educated.

Glad you and I are on teh same track Marrianne......congratulations on your progress!

Thanks for all of the support of those who have gone before me!!!

Forgot to answer question - - - -  I will be having the surgery in Gainesville.  I live about 30 minutes north of Gainesville, so it is very convenient for appointments and such.  I have been very impressed with Dr. Richard and have talked with several of his patients that are pleased with their results.

Marianne - what insurance do you have?
