I started looking into the Lap RNY and learned that it WAS for me...and currently I'm waiting for the insurance company to say "yes".

I can't wait to lead a healthier and WAY more active lifestyle, including diving again.
Well once you are ready to dive again, you look me up, ok! :-) I would love to be your post-op dive buddy since you are so close! It would be great to dive with someone who is experiencing the same things that I am! I am mostly concerned about getting my weight right! Right now I dive in salt water with 18-22 lbs. It's gonna be weird trying to get this right again! I recently bought my first BC, which is adjustable. it fits anyone from a skinny 13 year old boy, to a 400 lb girl (I say girl because we need extra boob room!). I am glad I made that choice so I won't have to buy a new one post-op!!
