So the insurance company has approved my surgery however I still need to get an endoscopy, per the gastroenterologist, and see the endocrinologist.

At least I'm a little closer...

    that is awesome news lady. :smile: don't sweat the scope cause they just want to see how your stomach is.

    when they did mine I had some kind of infection but a couple days of meds and I was good to go

    Good for you. I am waiting for mine also. it has been an uphill battle, but it's happening 11/6. I will watch your progress and give you encouragement too. I am slacking on the exercise, but really trying to do better.

    Mine is scheduled the day after yours. I am both excited and nervous. Since we both will be out at about the same time, I will check back and see how you are doing.

    One step at a time. I am convinced 8 1/2 mths out from surgery and 18 mths from my first information session on RNY that the time it takes to prepare is well worth it. I think the preparation was part of my success. I was able to change things along the way to be ready. It will get her sooner than you think. CONGRATS.
