ON MY WAY TO BECOMING AN OFFICIAL RNY MEMBER



Recommended Posts

Okay it is official, band came out on the 23th and just received a call from the nurse. She received the letter of clearance from the cardiologist, I requested one Friday from the pulmonologist and it is on the way. Only need three weight management visits so the 17th will be last one. Psychologist cleared me amonth ago, again. Visit with the dietetian Thursday, at my request. And think I have to go to a group meeting or a seminar (which I have already done). My insurance only requires three months of supervised weight management. So it looks RNY is around the corner. Actually have to wait about two months at least from date of the removal of the band, and that is okay (that is the doctor's requirement, wants to make sure the stomach heals). What I am happy about that they are doing this procedure as I'm 70 going on 71. So with fingers crossed, and prayers upward I be able to become an offical member (even though I have been since 2010) of this forum. I get to be in the bypass league, and not in between. I am so happy I can complete my journey to prolong my life. Thanks to all of you with all the support that is on the forum.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
