My "medical astrologer" and moon sign picked August 16th !
Yes, my medical astrologer worked up my moon sign (and all the many, many variables therein) for abdominal surgery between May and Sept., and voila !....the 'optimum' tuesday for my upcoming lapband surgery is the 16th of August. One of the ladies in the last pre-op lapband support group mtg. I attended talked about researching her moon sign (it's facinating, and NOT just alot of hocus-pocus) for the best day to have this particular surgery. I did the research initially and after finally getting my eyes to uncross , came to the conclusion that I needed to find a professional astrologer who has experience in medical aspects of one's moon sign. I found her (and she just happened to not only be one of the contributing writers/astrologers to the moon sign book--and considered one of experts in her field--but there was an e-mail address AND she was willing to do all of the hard work, e-mail me the results, and charged only $60.00). Fortunately not only was my surgeon available on the 16th--but in having to find coverage at work (I'm a working RN) for 4 of the 7 days off I need (we work 3-12 hr shifts/week so I'm actually taking the 15th to the 31st of August 'off'), I was able to in 1 day, get all 4 covered !
It's been a long and at times very discouraging process (Insurance company......need I say more!)--but everything has come together (I started the pre-op process June 2004) and have been researching/studying/continuing to do the 'head work' that I need to do pre-op, to FINALLY be successful in with not only the weight loss, but in the weight loss maintenance that I have never been able to do !
I don't have the time I'll be having surgery yet, will find out in early August, but would appreciate y'all sending out your good thoughts and prayers on the 16th for a safe successful surgery and re-cooperation.
Please feel free to e-mail me, the more in one's support "pool" the safer in the water it is for all of us! (LOL!!!!). Debi S. Vancouver, Wash.
