Roll Call!!

Hello there! I just realized there was a board for August surgeries and was wondering what everyones dates were. Mine is August 10th!! Do I have any surgery brothers or sisters out there?? It took 13 months for me to jump through all of the insurance hoops, but it is finally almost here. Good luck to everyone this month!! Shari from Cali

Hi Shari, My date is Aug 8th. It took me about 5 months to get everything done that the insurance company wanted, but I got my date set about 3 weeks ago. I don't know about you but I am starting to get a little nervous. Rob in TX

Rob~ Congratulations on your surgery date! Yes, I am a little nervous too, but we both have reasons for pursuing this surgery that outweigh staying our current weights. We are gonna be fine! Your wife and daughter are probably glowing with pride at your courage to make your life more healthy for yourself and your family. And, you have seen firsthand with your family members how awesome of a tool this surgery can be!! I will watch for your updates. This forum is great! I hope you are posting on your state board as well! I have made some great friends here in California! Take care and good luck! Shari in Cali Oh, PS.... your daughters artwork is really cool...very talented... how old is she??

Thanks so much. She just turned 10 in May. Rob

i am also august 8th. not much longer for us all to be big loosers!! sara

Sara~ Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! Why don't you stop on by the california board...it is a great support system. I have met several OH'ers in my area and have made alot of great friends. Where is it that you live? I am in southern California and would love to meet you if you are close by! Good luck to you! Shari

Mine is August 2nd and I cant wait Cindy Hamilton,Ohio

Cindy, looks like you have alot of "little" reasons to take care of your health! Good luck to you! Keep us posted! Shari

Cindy, My surgery is also on the 2nd of August. I'm happy about the surgery and would do a "happy dance" if I knew my knee wouldn't give out!! Oh, to the other August surgeries.....GOOD LUCK!! My prayers are with each and every one of you!! Pam Clarkesville, GA PS...My insurance will NOT pay anything. I have State Merit, with the school system and it's really hard to get anything approved.

Hello, My date is 8/11/05 I am sooooo excited for all of us. May God bless us an lets remember each other in our prayers. GOOD LUCK AUGUST PEOPLE. Donna
