I'm just joining and hoping to learn and grow from this list as well.  I just got my letter saying that the insurance has been notified as I have met all the prerequisites for the surgery now.  I am waiting to hear back from the insurance, but it shouldn't be long now and I'll have my surgery hopefully in August.   Glad there are a few of us locals to talk.  I'd prefer to network with those close to home if I can.  Both my sisters have had the r-n-y and are doing fantastic!  One is four years out and the other is one year out.  Totally transformed their lives for the better.  I'm hoping for the same.   I'd post a picture, but I can't figure out how to do it.  I don't have a website of my own and it seems like that's what you need to post one.  Is that true?

How is that going for you? What month are you in? Do you see Lori Knapp?  You don't always have to post about pre or post op surgery questions or concerns. It can  be about anything.  I just think we need to get this WI board moving a little bit :-)

I really don't have anything to post, I am in the process of seeing the dietician for 6 months for insurance approval.

Thanks for the congrats and well wishes! I will keep my fingers crossed that you get your approval quickly too! Best wishes ~~

How come no one posts on the Wisconsin board?   I've tried to start a few threads... but that only last for so long.  I know we aren't all anti social, so what gives?  Are we shy? Or do we just think that no one is posting, so why start now?  What can we do to get the board moving?
