Thanks. My insurance will only pay for the RNY. I'm worried and I hope I;m making the right choice, especially with no other option. Day 5 of liquid diet with 10 days left. already cleaned out, yikes...D is definitely for Discipline.

I know how it can be, it can be very scary for us when we are on the liquid diet, we will have doubts at this point so hang in there we are all here for you. Tom
