Topic: New to this board
Hi all! I'm Jenn and I'm new to the Georgia board. I had RNY in California and it allowed me to get pregnant with my amazing son, buthonestly, I have been gaining weight since I got pregnant. I'm not back up to my pre-surgery weight and motivated to do something about it. I got the stomach flu on Valentine's day and used that as a kick-start to get back to my protein shakes. I've been working out and eating clean and I'm proudly down 11 pounds!
I'm posting here to get some support and motivation, exercise ideas (classes?), and possibly a support group and some new friends.

Contact a barbaric program where you want your surgery. You have to attend a session to discuss the different weight loss procedures. The office will set up appointments for your surgical clearances. Also make sure you have a PCP that is on board with your decision because they will also follow you after surgery.

Topic: I have a consult at Peachtree Bariatrics and have Peach State Help

I have my intial consult on February 24.  I have Peach State Medicaid.  I know I have to get clearances because I got all of them in 2009 then my insurance got canceled.  I just finished school and got my bachelor degree so I wanted to start this process before I look for a job.  Does Peachtree Bariatrics now do your referrals for the clearances? How long is the process and any other info you can give me. I will be getting the RNY

Topic: RE: In need of a Revision..

Hi Laura,

I hope you don't mind me asking but why do you need a revision of your RNY? Is something wrong? I'm doing research about WLS because I might have to have one. I mean, I have to have one, but I'm still not sure will I. The complications that I read about on line and their rates...well just to scary I hope you could share your experience with me. I really need as much informations as I can get.

I hope everything will go well with your revision. I'm sorry that I can't recommend you a surgeon yet. I still haven't picked one myself :(
