Hello all..

How are all my friends out there doing?  I am getting a little closer...I have orientation for the Optifast program on the 22nd....just spoke with the Dr. office and was told I can get my tests done while I am Optifast.  So my first minor goal is to lose the required weight and during that time hopefully have all the other tests done by the required weight loss...that way when I make the 2nd appointment those two hurdles will be out of the way. I have decided after further research and numerous emails from members that RNY is the best choice for me, again we all have to make this decision on an individual basis.  This board rocks!!! Feel free to send friend invites, the more the merrier...

Congrats on making the decision, both to press onward and to have RNY.  Yes, you are right, everyone needs to make the choice that is best for ourselves, because once it's all said and done, we are the ones who have to live with that choice.  I'm happy for you!  It's a big decision and one I am sure you have not taken lightly (pardon the pun there).  Good for you!! 

You are moving right along! Congrats and good luck on your decision to have RNY.

Congratulations!  My mom had RNY about three years ago and has done fantastic.  She would not change a thing.  She has had very few complications and has lost about 120 lbs. and kept it off for two years.  It has completely changed her life.  Jen

Congrats on making a decision AND getting the Optifast program underway AND getting those appts out of the way too! You're doing great! Jules
