I GOT A DATE...SOMEBODY PINCH ME!!

I am kicking my heels right now with excitement and disbelief I had my first visit in Dr. Elariny's office on 12/21/04 and today is 12/30/04 and I got the news today that I was approved by Carefirst BCBS. I just knew I would get turned downed, but boy was I wrong! Surgery in just 25 days and counting 1/24/05. On a sad note, I found out I have sleep apnea The good news is it was found early and for that I'm happy. I have a couple of pre-op tests to finish off and I will be X'ing through the calendar countdown. I met a wonderful ANGEL here by the name of Mz H...Who is just good for the soul...She's a loser...And, she is wearing it well. I'd like to give a SHOUT OUT to all the Jan '05 to be losers...

That is great News !!! I am getting banded Monday Jan 3rd ... Good luck to you. Lisa m

Thank you so much Lisa m... I am singing the Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy, song right now... Wow Lisa! In just a few days you will be on the losing side. You must be thrilled...And, I'm thrilled for you. I will keep you in my prayers...Toni

Toni, Here is your pinch. Congrads on your surgery date. The days will start going by really fast. Best wishes Tammie G.

Wonderful! I am very happy for you! Your surgery day will be here before you know it. Enjoy 2005!

Consider yourself pinched!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!! That is so awesome!! Mine is the 21st. What a New Year's gift! Sleep Apnea is a common comorbidity with morbid obesity and may resolve itself with weight loss. Blessings to you, Carolyn
