The waiting begins........

Had a follow up with dietician and surgeon today. We discussed all procedures and agreed that the RNY is the best way to go. They sent to get approval and will call with surgery date when it's set in stone. They are looking at middle of September. They don't believe it will be a problem getting approval since my bmi is 38 and have several comorbitidies. The surgeon stated its a 90% chance of being off insulin and 80% chance of being off all oral diabetic medication. I am so ready for this tool to become a better new me!

You are going to be really happy you are doing this.

That's great news! The waiting seemed long for me until the approval came, then surgery day came really fast!

I wasn't on insulin yet when I had surgery, but I was on three oral meds for diabetes. I'm off all of them and my BSs are doing well. So there is hope that RNY surgery will improve your diabetes. Congrats!

This is an amazing thing you are doing for yourself!
