I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.

Thanks for the Warm welcome everyone!
Joy, if you don't mind me asking what made you choose RNY, Dr Shin mentioned it to me when we met but to be perfectly honest I was so sick I could barely keep myse;f upright, so I didn't ask anything much and am relying on my DH for what Dr Shin said. Infortunately hes used to me asking a ton of questions and now we disagree on why he suggested RNY.
As much searching as I've done online I am so full of questions. I hope I don't drive anyone crazy.

Hello and welcome.
Dr. Shinn did my surgery 04/23/06. They have an excelent staff and are very helpful. Dr. Shinn is a wonderful person and doctor. My surgery had no problems and so far I have had no problems since. I have lost 185Lbs and am still losing. As for me the RYN was the only surgey that my onsurance would pay for so that is why I had it, but I have no regrets, Good luck

Thanks wveasyrider
I am still not 100% sure but right now am leaning towards lap. I hate to say its basically from lack of information about RNY, and only knowing bad things about it. I was happy to hear that PEIA gives a choice now, my sister is watching, and I think we should all have choices. 185 lost is awesome, congrats on that x 100. I'm still basically in dream land other than the 10 I've lost doing the 1200 cal diet. I have 1 more visit with the nutritionalist and then I guess the psych eval and then surgery. I'm hoping to get it in before the years over, but I might be pushing it. They weren't real clear on how long it will take to get the psych scheduled and done. All that was clear was it would be a Wednesday. Thanks for the welcome
