New to the Lightweights Board...
Welcome to our LW Board!! We LOVE Newbies!!!!
My RNY has worked good for me although I do envy some of the DSers, but I am perfectly happy with my tool. Unlike you I didn't do any research until after I found the LW board and by then I didn't want to start the process all over.

Welcome to the LW Boards Amy. Good luck on your surgery and hope you get a date soon.
Did you have things you had to do to get insurance approval prior to being approved? I am very happy with my RNY. I wanted lapband, but had two surgeons tell me I need RNY due to the diabetes. Plus I read more and decided I needed something more than that. I looked into VSG, but it was not approved by my insurance at that time. I think I ended up with what I need for me. It is a very personal choice for us all.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi Amy!
I expect to have surgery in Nov too :) I was shicked at first to be called a lightweight too LOL! At least I am somewhere in the world....
I probably will have bypass but still have to meet with my surgeon next week to get his input. I have been heavy since I was a child (except for some brief starvation in my 20s) so I feel like I need a metabolic do over
Looking forward to seeing you on the Loser's Bench!!

Hi Amy,
I'm new to this forum also. I'm just waiting to get my surgery scheduled. I did alot of research for the last two years and chose the RNY. My surgeon thought it was the best for me because of my diabetes and I think it's a good choice. I'm hoping my surgery will be in October, but we may end up having the same day. Glad to meetcha.

I am just 6 days out from RNY. I wanted a sleeve but insurance wouldn't pay and at 61, I was ready, not wanting to wait and fight.
