Hi Chubbysey1
I'm new on this site too & I've been reading a lot on here as well! My doctor recommended the RNY to me as well. My first referral was denied because I have to take classes for 3 months. So I'll be starting Weight Watchers hopefully next week ((I've been waiting on the vouchers from my insurance & they should be here this week.)) Once I do the classes, they said my referral would be approved.....let's hope! I was leary all the way around about surgery too. My sister just recently had the Sleeve done & I thought that's what I wanted but after I seen her eat a slice of pizza ((and she just had surgery in Feb)) I thought to myself, Pizza is what got you fat to begin with, Why would you put that in your mouth! But with the Sleeve, she can eat pretty much anything (well, just has to limit the amount). That's when I knew I'd be better off with the RnY....i don't want to be fat again, I don't want to be able to eat a slice of pizza or anything else that got me to this weight. I'm glad everything is going good for you & I can't wait to read about your results!
