I Got A Date: Need An Angel:

Dr Webers office called to say I was approved for surgery. My date is October 10,2005 at Swedish Medical Center (Ballard) Seattle Wa 98107. Apparently was approved within 3 days of submission. I am stunned Don't know where to start to get ready. Still wish I could find a local face to face support group. Any suggestions, gratefully accepted. Nervous anticipation, Santina

GOOD LUCK !

Congrats and good luck to you on your surgery date! Did you try the local hospitals? Sometimes the dietician's at the hospital run WLS support groups. I heard there is site somewhere on this web site too that lists local support groups. Hugs, Vi

congrats on the date

CONGRATULATIONS MS SANTINA ... WLS WAS DEFINITELY MEANT TO BE FOR YOU - YOU GOT APPROVED SO FASTTTTTTTTTTT! CHECK OUT THE MESSAGE BOARD FOR WASHINGTON & SEE WHAT'S GOING ON REGARDING SUPPORT GROUPS. ALSO, A LOT OF THE HOSPITALS HAVE THEIR OWN SUPPORT GROUPS WHICH ARE EXTREMEMLY INFORMATIVE. GET ON THE STATE BOARD & ASK ... SOMEONE IS SURE TO TELL YOU WHAT'S AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA ... MY FOLKS USED TO LIVE IN THE SEATTLE AREA - THAT IS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! GOD BLESS
