I am very glad to finally have my date of my surgery which is the 30th of this month. I have been trying for almost 2 years to be accepted by Dr. Grandia. He was very thorough concering getting everything in to be accepted by Medicare. If you have any messages of encouragement I would appreciate them.

Your date is one day before mine. We're going to do great. All the wait will be worth it.

Albany,NY is where my sugery is being done. It does help to have a supportive husband in your corner. Mine is great too. Right beside me every step of the way.

Hello Melissa; I know what you mean about supportive husbands. When I had my left knee replaced in Sept. of 2003 my husband was right there beside me all the way. I kept telling him that I always bounce back from all my surgeries and he kept saying you have to remember you are getting old. It made me so mad I thought hey I will show him. I was done and out of therapy in 4 weeks time. Two weeks shy of the normal time. He said he did that to motivate me. I have put my cane down and have not picked it up since then. My kids are very supportive of me too. They know how I have struggled with my weight. My oldest daughter, (who is also going to make me a grandma this year) gave me a birthday card on my 50th and said that after I loose the weight she wants to take me on a cruise! So there is an encentive plus wanting to stay around to see my first grandchild grow up. Just let me know when you go in and I will keep you in my prayers. Melinda
