Paola, Thanks so much! I know that this approval is truly a gift from God. I am sooooooooooooooooooo thankful! Thanks for sharing in my joy...joy? what am I talking about? I am EXTATIC!!!! Susan

I am soooo happy for you!! You are on your way! You know of course, I am totally jealous!!! But I think you worked hard for it so YEY! for you!!! I knew once you brought in the lawyer you would get it!! I hope you get a date really soon. I will keep my fingers crossed Michelle

Michelle, HI! Thanks so much! Hey, it's ok to be jealous... I have spent the last year being jealous (in a good way) of all my WLS post-op buddies. How is your back doing? I haven't heard from you in a while. Do you think you might be able to get out this Sunday and meet us at the 1st West Side support group meeting??? Lemme know. I'd love to see ya! Susan

Hey again Susan! Unfortunatly I am a captive here in this body, in this house!! I really dont get out anywhere at all. Thank goodness for the motorized shopping carts at the grocery store! At least I can go there, I actually look forward to it, YUCK! I will keep everyone updated. My consult is in 14 days, hopefully I can just breeze through insurance approval(yea right) and get my surgery over with soon. I bet I will be able to function again after loosing at least 30 lbs. I will visit the west side support group when I can I promise. Cross your fingers Michelle
