YEA!!! I have a Date 1/19/05

First off I would like to thank everyone for their help with getting my approval. It went very well, the letter went in on 12/14/04 and I got approved on 12/23/04 but I didn't know that unitl 12/27/04 since everyone went home early on the 23rd and were off on the 24th. The other good news is that my doctor is now contracted with my insurance and I do not have to pay the 30% I only have to pay my deductable. YEA!!! The hard part is that I have to wait 3 weeks, when I am ready now. It won't be that bad I will just try to be patient. Thanks again for all your help! Shannon

congrats shannon! my surgery date is also on the 19th. Try waiting since Oct. when I got my surgery date.lol well good luck to you take care.

I don't know how you did it, it would have drove me to the funny farm. I hope you have a chance to take some time for yourself before your operation. I was told to do that and I think that is a good suggestion. Best of luck to you over the next 3 weeks and I hope your surgery is a great success. Take care, Shannon

My date is a few days after yours, the 21st and it seems like it will be forever until it gets here... I know about the waiting... Congratulations on your date and I wish you blessings for a quick recovery... Best wishes, Carolyn

Carolyn, First off great job on lossing the weight that you already have. I hope that the next three weeks are great, someone on this board geve a a great piece of information before your surgery take some time for yourself. I am going to try but if I want the next three weeks to go as fast as possible I am going to have to keep busy. Take care and if you need to chat please drop me a line. Shannon
