At the beginning - need a pal.



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm new to the RNY process and I would love an experienced pal who will be willing to take this journey with me. I am a 55 year old Christian woman who, in 1991, had her stomach stapled and am now going through the revision process with RNY. I am a disabled American who has an a long and hard road to haul. I am an emotional eater who is now in the process of being "someone else" so that I can find the woman inside who has been silenced by Mike & Ikes! Is anyone available?

I don't have a date yet. I am at the very beginning of this journey and, of course, I will have to deal with Humana. I would appreciate an experienced member who has already been there so they can, perhaps, give me an idea of what is to come!

Thank you for your answer and support!

You are welcome. I would say for sure the 1 thing I would suggest is RESEARCH everything. Each surgery has Pros and Con's. Maybe a little later you could join in on a Support Group locally. Having a good support team is so important. Good Luck and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
