Hi Dixie,
Welcome to the forum. You will find this to be a very interesting group of people. If you don't mind me asking, where are you at on your weight loss journey? call me nosey sorry....
Hi Suzeq,
Thank you for the welcome!
No, I don't mind at all answering questions. I am scheduled for lap RNY on May 1. My top weight was 250, my present weight is 237 with a BMI of 27. My goal weight is 135.
I'm looking forward to the start of my new life. I know that there'll be pain and frustration along the road. But I figure, heck, I've given birth so I know pain and as for frustration, I'm the parent of a teenager, so frustration is no stranger to me either.
I have a wonderful surgeon, Dr. Pablo Gazmuri of Newton, Massachusetts. I have absolute confidence in him. His staff has been fantastic - I can't say enough in praise of his nutrionist, psychologist, nurses and especially the wonderful insurance biller who wrangled approval out of my insuror.
I am very happy to have found this foru, too!
I'ts nice to be among you all.
Dixie
