Hi Barb, Just got to the board and saw your post. I'm sorry that your heart is not working properly. Have you been to the best cardiac specialists that you can find? Have you been to The Cleveland Clinic? Seek out the best for your condition...Get 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th opinions until you find an end result that will extend your life and get your heart healthy. Don't give up...follow directions, stay clean and do meditation to keep your head clear. Hang in there.. Thoughts and prayers are being send to you..I'm putting you on a prayer chain as soon as I write this. An email is going out just for you! Paula

Barb, Hang in there sweetie. One day at a time and following ALL doctors orders not matter what. Know you are in my thoughts( Before I knew this info, I always think of you) and I am sending you positive energy in your direction. Healing is so MENTAL and having the right attitude. YOU DO have the right attitude so I know you will come through this TOO. If I had a prayer list, you would be on it. Instead, you get positive thoughts and energy with your name sent into the universe. ONE DAY AT A TIME, you can do anything you put your mind to. Hugs from Germany, jacqueline

It took me several months but I was finally approved for my breast reduction, but not my pannilectomy. My surgery date is December 15th. I am *hoping* to be able to private pay for my tummy tuck
