Hi Everyone,
I have been posting on the main forum for about a week and a half. Today I found this forum and decided that is the perfect place for me. I am just starting in this journey. I have my first appointment with my surgeon on 3/26/10. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I know that my insurance covers the RNY so there will be no problems getting approval. I did a sleep study this past weekend so that test is done. I am hoping to have surgery within the next couple of months. I am looking so forward to being a loser!!!

Hello and welcome!

This is an awesome group full of so many people in the different stages.. post op, pre-op.. and even some like me that are doing it on our own. It is a good place to call "home".

I look forward following your journey.

Hello Carolyn!!

I was wondering, does your insurance cover DS and have you thought about that surgery at all?

I'm about to have my DS surgery, so I understand your excitement!!
