Oh yes the snow! It has been crazy these last few weeks. We somehow managed to escape this current one where I live. We have over 3 feet of snow in our yard currently from the last month of snow storms. We have a puppy and the first snow storm she tried to run out like normal and ended up disappearing under the snow. She was not impressed at all.

From talking that is about how long I will have after the informational meeting. I am lucky that my insurance doesn't require a waiting period and has minimal requirements overall for the surgery from talking to others at my work and we all have the same insurance. The program does have it's own requirements so we will see what they are exactly when I have my first appointments.

There are so many of those lakes around here haha. I think RNY will be my surgery of choice. I have significant reflux issues and from reading sleeve can cause further issues in that department but we will see after the meeting I guess.

I know I have a significant history of Reflux and Gastritis so I am thinking from research the RNY is what I would be a better candidate for. But we will see. I am trying to work it out with work to take the time off for the April informational meeting otherwise I know that no one else has off for the may date.

Hello everyone. I took my first step towards bariatric surgery today and registered for the information session. I am 27 years old weigh 270 lbs my highest of 280 and I am only 5 feet tall. I live in NH and will be doing it through Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. I have been debating surgery for years now. I have a few friends who have had surgery and have never regretted it and my doctor finally recommended me tok a weight and wellness center saying that she said most likely I would be a prime candidate for surgery. Anyone have any advice, suggestions, words of wisdom, etc. For someone just starting the journey? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
