Well, I had my inital appt with the surgeon today. He says I am a great candidate for Lap RNY. He sais that all of his have been lap and of the 497 he has done there have been NO strictures. YEA!!!! Well, he took some blood cause he wants to rule out a thyroid problem. He is sure there isn't one, but he had to do it. Once that comes back negative, he will turn in my referal to the insurance. From what I understand, I have to be pre approved just to have this appt. The approval is just a formaility. I should know within 72 hrs after the paperwork is submitted. And since I don't want to have the surgery over Christmas, in January, I GET TO BE A LOOSER!!!!!!!! I am sooooo excited.
