Hi everyone.  Just wanted to introduce myself. 
I am Misty.  Glad that I found this group on here.  : )
I am seeing Dr. Ahuja.  Having RNY and surgery is scheduled for Jan. 31st!  AHHHHHH!  I am so nervous.  I am kinda freaking out a little.  I know it's all normal, but just kind of wanted to share with some people that know what I am going through.  
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Thanks so much.  : )
Yes, Dr. A is nice.  I think he prefers the sleeve.  He wanted me to choose that option as well, but my insurance will only cover the band and RNY.   Count down is 6 days...Eeeeek.   I am still nervous, but know that this is the best thing I can do for myself.  Some people just don't understand.  I have lost 50lbs pre-op and I hate it when people are like "why don't you just keep doing what you are doing and not do the surgery?".   Well, if that was the case, I would be at a healthy weight by now.  Most people who aren't overweight or haven't ever struggled with obesity, don't know what it's like.  Good luck to you as well on your weight loss and pending surgery.  I will keep everyone posted.
