Excited to join the group

I have to pay a fortune but I am ready to join all you Louisiana losers. I have made all my decisions, finally. I am having RNY revision at Southern Surgical Hospital by Dr. Michael Thomas. He said next week but I have not gotten the call for the exact date yet. This morning it sank in for the first time and I am so ready! To explain-it is a revision because I had a Gastroplasty in 1979. Dr. Thomas said there is no evidence of that surgery left except some scar tissue so I can have the RNY Lap--yea yea. I am self-pay so no vacations for a couple of years but even though I am pi%$%ed that my insurance won't pay I know this will be good for me.

I was self pay too and trust me, it was the best money ever spent. You can read my story on my profile if you would like. Welcome to the boards and soon you will be a new you. Good luck on your journey, it truly is an amazing one. If you need anything, please email me. Gina Starting/Surgeon's Goal/Today's Weight/My Goal 282/150/143/130
