Hi, New to the site, have been checking things out and reading what everyone has to say.  Well for the past 6 months I have been talking on the phone with my health coach.  Lucky me has had Tufts Health Insurance and I had to talk to a nutritionist on the phone for the past 6 months.  The coach was great, very informative and a helpful person to talk through within this process and she knew it was just frustrating for me.  Well My last call was a week ago and I'm thinking I should call my Doctors office and see if they got the ok from the Insurance company.  Pretty much just waiting for a surgery date and for someone to tell me what my next step is... any other doctors apts etc.  I have been reading alot of different web sites and trying to find out what exactly I am getting myself into.

Welcome! I have spent the last month reading, reading and more reading! I read these boards, books and anything else I can about RNY. I feel very well informed and am looking forward to my surgery next month. The people on these boards have the experience, and are willing to share advice and support to everyone.

Just finished my i can change program too!  sounds like we're on similar paths!

I remember doing that program too.  It was kind of unfair to make us do it but oh well I am glad your done and on your way to getting approved. 

I had my surg done on 7/28/08 @ St. Elizabeths and I LOVE my doctor. She was awesome.  I can say with great pleasure I am down 76 lbs
