1st Warning

 FINALLY--I am approved and have a date 3/29 @ OrangeCoast.  You are all put on notice to get ready to share the bench with me.  It's my turn!!!!!  After more than 2 years of getting my ducks in a row, I am so ready.  Keep me in your prayers.  Be advised that you will likely be warned many times over the next 7+ weeks that you need to warm it up and get ready to scoot over!  

Cristi,

Congratulations on getting a surgery date. I'm sure you are so excited about it. We will have no problem moving down on the bench for ya.  The next 7 weeks will go by so fast, it will be here before you know it.

Hugs Eileen

Cristi,

Whoo hoo!  You bet, we're going to keep that loser's bench spot nice and warm for you to come join us on.  You have really had to wait a while, so I am glad there is light at the end of the tunnel for you.  You're going to love your new healthy life.

Hugs and congrats.

 Thanks Eileen and Barb--I hope I will be where you too are and just a year post surgery.  I am starting with a similar BMI and would like to get to about 25.  God, time and patience will help.  I can't wait to roll on the lawn and note have to call the paramedics to get up.  I want to be on a plane without a seatbelt extension.  I don't want to be the fat girl anymore!  

WOO HOO                

i was just thinking about you.  I thought that maybe you would have posted last week what happened at your appointment.  Figured I would wait a bit and WALA here you are posting this wonderful news that you have waited so very long for.

There is room on the bench right next to me girl.  I will keep your spot nice and warm.


Congratulation's on moving forward in your new life journey.

Annette

 Thanks Annette--My authorization came on Monday and on Tuesday I got my date.  Today I got preregistered at the hospital and got all my preop appts.  It took so long to get approved and now things are a whirlwind.  I am excited, nervous, scared, delighted, you name it.  Thanks for all your support.  

Horray, finally, see all good things come to those thast wait and wait you have, and now it is all about you.  Congrats

Hugs, Diane

 Thanks Diane.  I am not used to it being "all about me" and that will take some getting used to.  But it is my time and my turn.  I am so grateful for all the care and support!

There is always plenty of room on the losers bench for one more.  Congratulations on getting your date. Be sure to keep us posted and of course you will be in our thoughts and prayers!

 Elizabeth--keep those prayers coming!!!!PLEASE.
