February 2, 2005.

I have my surgery date. I am a little disappointed that it's so far out, but I'm thrilled to know it will happen. I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Congrats!!! My date is just after yours on the 8th and I am so excited. I was also a little disappointed that it was so far out but I look at it this way a new start for a new year!!!

It's hard to believe how fast time is flying. When I first posted February seemed like forever away, and now it's just around the corner. Congratulations on your surgery date. Exciting stuff! Lisa B.

I know what you mean about it seeming like sooooo long to wait. But we are getting it done!!!!! That is awsome. It is almost real to me now and I can't wait till Feb. I have been on this road for a LOOOONNNGGG time and am self paying because the insurance won't cover. So no matter how long it seems, I know now that it is at least going to happen. We are gonna be sooo happy and healthy when this is done it will be well worth the wait. Good luck to you, Tamara Preop 2/9 Dr. Aguirre, Mexico

I'm sorry to hear about your insurance, but am happy to hear that you are going ahead with it anyway. I wish you luck, happiness, and health. YAY for us!!! Lisa B.

Dear Lisa B: We share the same wls date and although it seems far off it is really not. I was scheduled for surgery on 11/16/04 and it was postponed and through this whole ordeal I have had major setbacks but realize that everything happens in its own due time. Stay focused and soon you will find yourself on the other side. Take care. Carol Pryce

Thank you for the encouraging msg. February 2nd is sneaking up on me faster than I thought. I'm sure you know how that feels. I'm SO excited though. I feel hopeful, and that makes all the difference. Best, Lisa B.
