Wow! I received one phone call on October 12 that my insurance denied and the second phone call today that they approved the procedure. I had a date on October 23 but was not sure that I would be able to go. NOW I HAVE A DATE AND I WILL KEEP IT!!! ;-) On Monday I will change my life forever. I am exited and scared at the same time. I pray for patience and endurance.

Maya and Kitty, I wish you both well. Praying on your surgeon's hands is the right prayer. I am 1 week out and finally feeling good. The first week I thought surgery was the devil. Now I know... It is good. And I am down 11 lbs!

Oh my! Are you serious? I am having goose bumps from all the e-mails I have been receiving with prayer and best wishes from total strangers. I guess you are not a stranger anymore. Sure, lets keep in touch and pray for the better future. I have a co-worker that when through this in May, 2006. She recommended this surgeon to me and she has been the G-d send to me. I am so grateful to her for introducing me to this web site, because I felt so lonely in my misery. I am not alone anymore. G-d bless everyone who went, go or will go through this. Kitty, good luck! I will pray for you! Lets talk next week and exchange the good news only.

Thank you for your kind words. I am having the gastric bypass. I did not like the Lap because I could not imaging to have something inside me after the surgery. At least, that what they told us at the orientation. Something (I don't remember the word for it) that they need to tighten the lap in the future. I am sorry, I am not trying to change your mind. I am sure that kind of procedure is working great too. It is just me. All insurances are paying for it. It just has to be medically necessary. I wish you the best.

Maya, It's gonna be great the liquid diet before is worse than the surgery itself, after you don't care to eat, cause your just not hungry! I will pray for you to have the courage to prevail! God bless you, Cathy O.
