intro from Grammalove
Hi, everyone!
I have just joined this group and there seems to be a lot of caring support
here. I have been approved for the RNY surgery but am still going through some
preop paperwork and testing. I am 50 yrs old with a BMI of 52. I’ve been
researching a bit and reading a lot and finally getting excited about having the
surgery. I’ve been a bit leary until now. I have MS, CFIDS, fibro, diabetes,
and sleep apnea; so I’m really praying that the weight loss will help all of my
conditions. Thank you for letting me join you.

Hi Grammalove,
Welcome to to Obesity Surgery Support Group and congrat on getting approved
for surgery. I have a consult next week on the 28th with Dr. Suh and Dr.
Waldrep in Roseville, CA. What part of CA are you from? My BMI is 51, I’m
33 with a daughter who is 16 months old. I too have M.S. How long have
you had it? I was dx in 1987, but I had symptoms stemming back to
1983. Has all the testing and pre-op stuff stressed you out to the point
of bringing back your M.S.? What has your Neuro said through all of this?
Would love to hear from you soon.
