Had group consult with Dr. Bell today!

Well, I made it through the first hurdle...after waiting sooooo long, the day finally arrived. First, let me say DR. BELL IS AWESOME! There was so much information in that room, it was incredible. I was a total sponge. It appears that everyone in the room will have surgery between 7/21 and 8/9/04! I am on my way Maybe now tonight I can relax and get some much needed sleep Thanks for all your support guys...you are the very best! JA

Thats so awesome! I bet you are so happy. I meet with Dr. Bell July 8yh...do you think that mean maybe I could have WLS between Aug 21 and Sept 11? Regardless I am so happy for you..I know its a long road but think of it this way...only 6-8 weeks left. Be sure to let us know!

HI Melissa, Thank you for all your good wishes! I think you will be able to have surgery w/in 2 months of your consult date...that seems to be the formula! Keep the faith and perservere! It's well worth it....I'm so excited I could Thanks again! JA

wooooo hoooooooo you and Chryssie are well on your way to being on the Losing side..... it is sooo close now..i cant wait to be as close as you have come.....Good Luck and let us know when you get your date.. deanna

Deanna, We are on our way Can you tell I'm excited! I saw Dr. Bell in the hallway as I was leaving, and he said you'll be getting a call really soon! Once you get to this point, I'm told time flies! Let's hope that's the case! Thanks again! Good luck to you! JA

Hi JA, So glad everything went so well today!!! You're right Dr Bell is awesome and I would recommend him to everyone. He helped me thru some pretty tough times and I'll never forget that. Well I know it seems like your date is far away but actually the time will fly and before you know it you'll be on the other side and a looser like the rest of us. Learn as much as you can and ask questions and more questions and more questions!!! Let us know when you get your date so we can all get excited with you. I think I got more excited for others than I did for myself. Hope to see you Saturday, its suppose to be spectacular weather. Hugs, Mary Lou

To all of you in this recent group meeting with Dr.Bell. It is exciting for sure to take this next step,and if you think you are excited now, wait for the "phone call" with the date!!!!! Best of luck and enjoy this "high". Carol
