What obstacles did you face in getting TO surgery? What obstacles have you seen AFTER surgery? What are they - people, places, things, imaginary friends, bad hair pieces?

What obstacles have I faced in getting TO surgery?

>>>> One doctor who I flat out refuse to go to is bascially a butcher at his procedures has a 3-4 year waitlist. I can't wait that long. I'm also kind of facing one with my dad as he thinks that the lap-band would be better for me. I say no because I'm a diabetic on insulin. I won't get the results I would with RNY.

What obstacles have I faces after surgery?

>>>>> None cause I haven't had it yet. lol Ask me after. hehehe

Before surgery obstacles..... dealing with one place to get my rny done... and being jerked around and treated like a piece of meat.... complete turn off.... Has a great doc now..... so glad the other one didnt work out After surgery..... im only post op 5 1/2 weeks.  I get criticised from friends and family.  My husband ..... is my rock..... he went in also for rny... same day.... with me....... People dont understand why i chose surgery.... they tell me i could have done it the "old fashioned" way.  So im looked down upon for that.                          i have an issue with trying to get creative with making meals  LOL... if anyone has any good recipes... pass em on....                                                                Christine

I am still pre-op so I can only answer the "getting to surgery" part.....INSURANCE by far is the largest obstacle I have found. My PCP is wonderful and will do whatever is needed, my family is supportive, and I have only told my closest friends what my plan is. Scheduling is going to be an obstacle since we have a pretty busy summer planned out already and it isn't even here yet.
