congratulations

congratulations to all you wls people i'm just now starting my journey after 3 different Doctors and 2 yrs trying I finally see Dr Jeff Allen on Sept 10th hope my surgery date is soon I'm beginning to get impatient glad to see all the people on here that have had their surgery and doing great.!!!WAY TO GO!!!

Ms. Arnold Gods Blessings to you; KEEP THE FAITH; it took three trys to finally get my approval through; the frustration and effort are worth it; many others have similar if not worse strories to relate. Keep with your doctor and the insurers and it will happen. Read the stories the members have written as you are doing(wise move on your part) and don't repeat the mistakes and you'll go far. Looking back now after a year "Would I do it again?" In a New York Second Soon very soon you'll also be able to share similar experiences Keep plugging; hopefully Dr. Allen will be your salvation as Dr. Anez was for my wife and hundreds of others like us. There is nothing in life more precious and dear than your own personal good health; "smart doctors" know this and are increasingly helping extremely obese people come around to a healthier and happier life Please keep posting of your progress towards getting your surgery as I'm sure all will agree we are pulling for you Good Luck and Keep the Faith If it helps I have my own personal mantra a "mentor" Chief Master Sgt fresh from Viet Nam taught me oh so many years ago; and I have followed it all through my military carreer and never lost sight ( It works for me): "Either I shall find a way.... Or I'll shall make one... Failure is not an acceptable option" God's Blessings to you on your quest

Congrats to you! Just remember.....it's not how far you fall; it's how high you bounce. Freda 304/192/150
