Kari, I am wishing you a successful, complication free surgery and a safe, quick recovery. I had my Open RNY on Dec. 10, 2001 and can honestly say that I have NO regrets other than not having WLS several years sooner. It is, without a doubt, the best thing I could have done for myself. God bless you as you start your healthy new life.

I just got my final approval. It is a go!!!! YEAH!!!!! Eileen called to talk to me. She had talked to the people at PacifiCare and they were going to deny the surgery due to me being a smoker. They told her that I still had 2 weeks and 2 days until surgery. And if I quit now, they would approve it. I told Eileen that I had quit 2 weeks ago. So she called them back and they approved it. Doesn't make perfect since to me, but right now all I know is that I WAS APPROVED!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!
