I am so pleased you got your feet taken care of :) Walking is a huge part of after surgery and your going to need those puppies of yours in walking shape. I can relate to the bankruptcy..we had ours 7 years ago and it was very hard for us to do it..but now things are starting to look up and we are working hard to get our bills paid off so that we will be debt free within two years..that is our goal anyway. Medical bills even small ones..pile up fast and we do not want to have to file again. I have been thinking about you and am praying for your approval from the insurance company..you are going to be so ready for this surgery..and we are going to be so ready to welcome you to the losers bench :)
Hugs..Katie

Im so sorry your having all this trouble..it makes my heart hurt for you :( I think you have every right to be mad and scared and whatever else your feeling at this time. I did not have trouble with my insurance so I cannot relate to how your feeling. But I can tell you that when all this mess gets sorted out and you do get to have your surgery, you will see how worth it all this hassle was. At least you are not throwing in the towel and staying in your rut. You are pushing on and standing strong... that is something you should be very proud of. Keep your chin up and I will pray that all turns around for you very soon..Hugs..Katie

Topic: RE: Thank You Yvonne!!!
I am very happy with RNY. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Yes, I dump on sugar but that keeps me from eating it. Now if someone has something sweet and I want some I might have a bite or two from my husbands, it is enough to satisfy me. I had gained weight in the last few years but as soon as I used my tool properly it all came back off. I no longer suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes. I followed the rules to the letter for the first two years, which I feel is very important for the success.
If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask. I'll answer anything I can. Good luck with your research.

Yep Kim, you nailed that one on the head about how many go in without knowing anything. I call it the deer in the headlights pre-op that hears nothing but "when will I have surgery???". There is no way for them to know who has done homework and who hasn't and it's their way of trying to educate the patient. My surgery was so long ago that I just made an appointment for a consultation with the doc and went for it! There were no seminars, no after care, nothing! Things have changed so much but there is still so much to be done. Thanks for helping her out.

Welcome to the PPA board. Sorry about your having problems making your decision. Which one you have, I feel, is a very personal decision. I think each kind works for different people, keep doing your research. If you have a support group in your area go talk to people that have had the different kids and find out what there experience has been. Plus you have all the people here on OH with all the different kinds. When I had mine I don't remember there being so many choices !
Sorry about your experience with the bulliness, I know it is out there and have also avoided it by going to this site along with a couple others that do not have that going on !
Good luck.
