been a luker here...

Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself to the OH board. I have been looking into to RNY since Dec 2004. Finally after 18 months, all my "stuff" is in and now waiting on insurance approval. Sure has been a rollercoaster trying to get this done, but I am a patient person, and am "almost" hopefully there. I still feel a bit superstitious introducing myself, for fear something else will come about as a setback, but here goes nothing! LOL Michelle

Michelle Welcome to the OH board and congratulations on takeing the first steps to A new you and new life good luck to you Michael

Welcome Michelle. Don't be superstitious. I started posting before I go my approval. It's a good place to learn and to get prepared. Good luck!! Sharyn

Michelle Hi welcome to the Ohio board don't worry the girls at St Vincents will make sure you get that approval. Thats where I went for my RNY on May 31 I had Dr. Ben-Meir colleague Dr. Schreiber, so don't worry about anything your in good hands. Jim

Welcome Michelle.. it is an emotional ride isn't it? Just when you think you are ready they find another test for you... hang in there! Blessings, pam

Hi Michelle, I'm a lurker too. Just starting my process, waiting on my packet of info. My daughter had her WLS 4 years ago and is doing great. She's given me the incentive to go ahead with it. I'm sure we'll be talking a lot in the weeks and months to come. Good Luck!! Peg

Hello Michelle, Hopefully you will hear soon. I too thought it was forever, but with me it is happening sooner than I expected. Tommorrow is my day, and I told my DH to tie me to the bed if it looked like I was changing my mind. I think I am going a little :crazy. My emotions are out of control. One minute I am an :angel, next I am a :devil.

Good luck tomorrow. Thats how I was no one could talk to me the night before. I was a devil. I told them to please leave me alone. My nerves was shot. I didnt even let my husband go to the hospital. Because I knew he would be impatient and look at his clock. and hate being there. So I just spared him the hassel. I took both my daughters. That was my best support. Remember to sip water and to walk as soon asap. That si whats going to heal you Best wishes Barb
