Hi!

[dayciavu 26]

Hi everyone, i just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Daycia and I am just starting out on my bypass journey. I am going with the RNY because my insurance is the ONLY insurance that doesn't cover the sleeve. I am 30 (almost 31) years old. I go for my first appointment with my surgeon this afternoon. My first nutritionist appointment is on October 5th. I'm hoping to have my surgery in April 2016 at the very latest. Thanks for having me!

Welcome! Congratulations to you for being pro-active and getting this done early in your adulthood. Many of us oldsters who yo-yo dieted for decades had to have strokes, heart attacks, diabetes or excruciating orthopedic issues to convince us to investigate bariatric intervention. I am so proud of you. I wish you good luck and good health.

Hi! Good luck on your journey. I'm starting on my journey as well. My surgery won't be until June 2016.

Welcome, and best of luck as you begin your Quest for weight loss surgery!

Thank you everyone! I got some good news that my insurance does not require 6 months of nutritionist visits, so we are trying to do this as soon as possible. I think my surgeon was more excited than me. :-) so hopefully before the end of the year I will be having the surgery.

I'm excited for you. I can't wait till I have an absolute date. I bet the anticipation is insane.

No 6 month wait, good for you!????

I'm a little more half way through my 6 month wait & I am so mentally ready for this. I can't wait. Best of luck to you.
