Topic: I have a date! September 16th!
I'm so excited. I started this journey in April when a former co-worker of mine called to tell me she'd had this surgery and lost 180 pounds. I started to research it. I read Carnie Wilson's book and anything else I could get my hands on. I found Alvarado Hospitals website and signed up for a seminar. Alvarado referred me to this website. After talking with many, many people at this site, I decided WLS was for me. On June 4th, I had my first doctor's appt. On July 3rd all the data was forwarded to my insurance company, Blue Shield of California PPO, the 4th was a holiday and the 5th and 6th were weekend days ... on Monday July 7th Blue Shield approved my surgery! I'm scheduled to change my life with this surgery on September 16, 2003. Just over 2 months!

Topic: My rebirth starts on September 8, 2003
As the date gets closer, I get more and more excited. I must say, I almost changed my mind due to some unfortunate things that happened to a very close relative of mine. But she has overcome, and so will I. September 8th will be my new birthday, my new independence day. (I was born on July 4th). So here's to a new start in life..may God bless my new start, just as HE has blessed my being a born again Christian. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Topic: Sept. 10 Here I come!!!!!!!
I can't believe by the time my surgery gets here, it will be almost a year's journey. Now it feels so close I wonder if I can get everything accomplished I want before it's time.
