Getting My Business Done.

[Montage 87]

Hi all,

I'm 30 in a few days and have finally Made the decision to get RNY.

I'm 6'3" and 160kgs(353lbs) living in South Africa I cannot wait to be banded! Going to go discuss my options and plan with the doc on Thursday afternoon, it's such a relief to make this decision. . I have a strong need for this. I have been at 40+ BMI since I was 14 and although it hasn't got super out of control I have tried everything under the sun!

Now is my time to shine!

Bring on the RNY I say!!

welcome and congrats for deciding to get healthier. You are young and have many many years ahead of you. They might as well be years you can enjoy. I feel like I have lost more than half my life to feeling bad. I am ready for this second part of life to be healthier and to LIVE.

So I saw the Surgeon today, and boy oh boy is he cool. He was straight with me and generally really nice, and listened to me and answered my questions.

I feel totally comfortable with him.

He has said that I am the best candidate for this operation, yay, so my appointments for the other specialists have mostly been booked and I will be doing most of them on Tuesday the 13th Nov.

I'll most likely have my Surgery at the end of Jan if all goes well.

So, today I had a huge round of appointments, first saw the Bio Kinetecist and he is completely more than happy to recommend the surgery for me. Next was the Dietician, and she was really impressed by my current diet / eating habits, and so has adjusted slight for a pre op diet, and ten Willl see me in a months time, and is also completely happy for me to have my surgery.

So now I am at my Physician appointment for my bloods, am sure it will be an awesome result.
