!!! In desperate need of support, surgery date 3/1/05!!!

they called and sent off for my approval on feb. 10th, had absolutely no idea it would be approved within 5 days and now im really scared cause its only 5 days away...... i requested help finding an angel, but am unsure if that will happen as quick as all of the rest of this has. im in modesto california, if anyone could lend some support i would appreciate it.

Congratulations! You have been spared a long time of anxiety! Just hang in there and soon you will be on the losing side! I had my surgery 3/1/2004, so you have landed on my rebirthday. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. Your life is about to change for the better. Better buy a belt--you will soon have a hard time keeping up your britches! Joy

I guess we're in the same boat so to speak.I went to my meeting with the surgeon yesterday thinking it would be a month or so before surgery and I'm scheduled to have it next Wed the 2nd of March!!I'm still in shock!I'm really scared to.I felt more at ease talking with all the nurses at the hospital where I'll be at because they all had surgery to and said it's the best thing they ever did for themselves.I know you live a ways from me,MN, but I'll be praying for you.Soon we will both be on the losing side and on the road to new healthier happier lives Be strong because I'm sure your in good hands.
