My pre-op meeting is on Sept.4, 2003 I'm really anxious for my surgery date 9-25-03.

Hey there Chris! Congratulations on your special date! I had my RNY December 7, 2000 and remember how wonderful it was to have an "angel" looking out for me. If you are still in search of your angel, I would like to apply for the position I've never done this before, but would certainly like the opportunity. I can try to answer any questions or concerns you may have and will keep everyone on the site updated on your progress as you recover. Feel free to read my profile and let me know what you think. If you should decide on someone else, I won't be offended. I wish you the best of luck in your journey--------it's a long road, but well worth the walk!!! Take Care & God Bless!

My best friend of all time and I heard about the "Buddy System" and we get to do it! Who would have thought that we would get to do something together in the hospital! I am so happy about it, too. I was feeling anxious about being so far from home with out my husband and new baby boy for 4 days, that I was thinking about backing out. But BTC said my best friend and I were both approved so we are going to have a DOUBLE DATE so to speak. Sept. 15. 2003 is our date. Pray for us!!
