I'm a newbie with a Nov. date!

Hi, My name is Virginia. I just found this message board. I have been trying to get the lap RNY for over 8 months now....but after much insurance stalling....and hoops to jump through that made me just want to quit...I got approved!!! My rebirthday is November 23, 2005!!! That's the day before Thanksgiving...what kinda planning is that??? BUt I guess all of us are in the same boat...with a November rebirthday that is. Time is zooming by all of a sudden....Getting this surgery approved took forever!!! I'd love to hear if anyone here has the same surgery date or is having surgery at St. Luke's Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ like me!! Virginia

Congrats Virginia, My date is Nov. 1st so i only have a couple days to go... I hope you have a successful surgery and a very speedy recovery.

Congrats!!!! I am having dental work on the 23rd...second only to Bariatric surgery for the holidays!! Congrats!!! The hoops were awful I know but you will be soooo glad you jumped them!! Know that you are in the hearts of everyone who has gone before you!! I say a prayer every morning that HE watch over all surgeries today... so know you will be in mine!! Linda

Best wishes on you having a quick and uneventful surgery and quick recovery! Take care, and come back in Dec and let us know how you'er diong.
