Topic: RE: Just some questions to gain Insight!
Hello!
I also had the RNY in June 12, 2008. i am doing my best to get to onerland I am @ 228.25, as of last week. I see my nutritionist, on the 13th, I think. I am walking, or mowing lawn, and doing the walking video. I am doing my best to exercise 30 + minutes per day, and i am keeping track of what & everything I eat.
I need to be accountable to people.

The reason I ask about co-morbids is because I dont have any "serious" like HBP or Diabetes. I just have GERD and chronic pain.

Topic: Appointment tomorrow!
Tomorrow morning, I will see the dietician for the 6th month. My insurance requires 6 months of this, so I finally made it to that point. I am hoping that tomorrow will be the day that she gives me the "ok" to proceed with surgery! Wish me luck.....by the way, I go to Drs. Loggins/Bang in Lewiston.

1. I had the lap RNY in 2008 (I am 2.5 years out and maintaining!!)
2. I LOVE the results of weight loss...I could deal WITHOUT the extra skin, though!!!
3. It took me about 9 months to get to my goal. I've gained a few pounds since goal, but I am still a "normal" BMI and DH likes me better at this weight than at MY goal, so I'll take it!
4. I had high blood pressure, was ABOUT to go on meds for diabetes, and I found out (through pre-op testing) that I had sleep apnea. I also had back pain and a few other "little" things, as well as a high BMI! (I am 5'2" and weighed 265 at my documented highest!)
I'd do this again tomorrow, if I had to! Yup, I've had a few issues (stomach ulcers and chronic left lower abdominal pain).....BUT.....NOTHING would stop me from having surgery again tomorrow!
Good luck to you!!!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT! 
Ok. SO I am planning on having WLS (as many of you already know). What my questions are:
1.What type of surgery did you have?
2. How did you like the results?
3. How long did it take you to get to your target weight?
4. Did any of you NOT have serious comordities and just a HIGH BMI?
Thank you For all your help!
