I am 250 lbs and 5'7". I have researched the RNY extensively. I have just scheduled by pre op testing. This weekend I go for the sleep apnea testing, as my BMI is 38.4 the doctor said having sleep apnea would help getting approval from my doctor. Lately I have been having chest pains but as I suffer from anxiety attacks that is probably what this is. I think the anxiety comes from reading all of the before and after stories and not being able to wait for the surgery.
