I'm here!!!

Still researching as usual.  I love my job.  Sit at my desk all day.  Play on the computer and out of my 8 hour day I work for maybe at the most 2 hours.  Now 2 hours here is a lot however I really look busy researching of the rny and other possibilities.  The VGS sounds good too however I don't think it is covered by my insurance.  I need more information from my insurance company.  They told me 100% and 80% however found out that the surgery is held in SF and I don't know if my medical pays for it.  So now back to square 1.  I have my appointment with my PCP today so I can go over things with him.  Such a nice guy.  8 months ago when he told me about the lap band I said I don't think so my husband will never agree to that.  But he planted the seed and it grew and grew and grew now I want the RNY.  I just think it would be better because I love that sugar and with the band I know I will.  Anyhoo I have 3 friends that have the band and is not doing that good.   Well I just thought I would check in and give everyone a big ALOHA!!!! 

Aloha Nahealani!!!!! ((hugs))

Welcome. Sounds like you're doing your homework. The initial stages can be very frustrating, I know.

I chose to go to SF and my insurance wouldn't cover anything done out of state, so I became a self-pay. I also opted to have the VSG an I am SO happy that I did.

I am about 1 month out now and loving it! I feel fantastic and have no malabsorption issues. Weight is controlled through restriction instead.

Good luck and malama pono!

P.S. I think I want your job!

Good for you Nahea..im glad i met you and Makena on here..there isnt much Hawaii ppl on here...so aloha aned good luck!
