Surgery Scheduled 5/14/04 - need an angel

Hello - My name is Christa and I am very new to how this works. I have my surgery scheduled and reallly need the help of an angel. I am so excited and nervous to finally have insurance approval and a date. It has been a very long haul ( began with my insurance 8/03 until recently approved) hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you all - I have read many messages but this is the first time I felt it was approprate to send one.

I want to wish you the best with your upcoming surgery. My surgery is on 5/3/04. I am feeling the same way, very excited and nervous, too. I guess that is very normal. If you would like me to call you to tell you about my experience post-op I would be more than happy to. take care and keep in touch, Dina (lake elsinore, CA.)

Hi Christa, I am also having my surgery at Stanford in California on May 14th....we can be surgery sisters! I have some testing tommorrow and then my pre-op is on May 7th. Then surgery on May 14th and post-op on May 28th.....wew....May will be a very busy month for me. I started the whole process in november 2003, so it has not really taken long to get it all going...but now that its getting so close....I am getting nervous and excited all at the same time..... There are a lot of what if's running around in my head right now, but I am trying to keep busy so I won't keep going there...............Ha........IT'S NOT EASY! I wish you the best of luck and e-mail me if you want and we can compare notes and stuff......Happy Thoughts!! Linda

Hi Christa, Welcome to the May Support Board. It took me a very long time to get approved too, I had UHC. My date is May 12th. If you want a local Angel to help you, you should post to the State Support Board for your State. We are all pre-op's on this site and all of us are excited, nervous and scared. And it sure does help to post our feelings and ask questions. We are all here to help each other. God Bless and Best Wishes on your Surgery. Jean

Best wishes on your surgery and if you are a spiritual person may God be with you. My surgery date is scheduled for the 17 of may. Let me know how you're doing after surgery Cya on the losing side.

I will keep you in my thoughts for a successful and uncomplicated surgery. In Health, Lance

Christa: I'm scheduled for 5/4. A few months ago, I was also searching for an Angel. What I've learned since then is that I don't need ONE angel.... I have THOUSANDS of them right here on OH.com. The entire AMOS family is here to support us!

Hi Christa, My name is Carolyn and my surgery date is 5/14/04 also. I know how you feel. I look at the calendar 3 or 4 times a day to count the days till surgery. It is exciting and scary also. Best wishes and God Bless you. We can compare notes after surgery.
