It's MY DAY Tomorrow!!!

So I have my appointment with Dr. Barba at 9:00 in the morning on 2/9! It has been a long road to get to this point (20+ doctors appointments)! So tomorrow I'll GET MY DATE!!!! I am so anxious to find out the date. Sometimes a defining moment hits you by surprise in life and sometimes a defining moment is planned - it's really a new birth day date that I'll be getting! The date to start redefining who I am, one day at a time. My entire identity has always had this fat foundation, my foundation is about to be shaken to it's core and I'm ready to rock I'm scared a little and excited ALOT!! Best Regards, Tammy

Good Luck Tammy!!! How long has this process been for you? You mentioned 20+ Dr.s, that's a lot of appointments. Stay Strong!!! Joe

Thanks Joe! I had to go through the six month doctor supervised diet - I started on that in July - so when all is said and done - it will have taken approximately 9 months - just long enough to have a baby! I am so sick of going to doctors and labs and parking garages......it will be so nice to just get it all over with!! I'll try to stay strong Joe - thanks! Best Regards, Tammy

Best wishes as you reach the end of the warmup to your "Journey" Tammy! Will look forward to seeing you on our side of the bench. Take Care, Julio

Make a LOT of room on the bench Julio - I promise I will take up less and less space as time goes on! Best Regards, Tammy

Tammy, You'll do great tomorrow!! The office staff is so nice and the Dr. answer all of your questions no matter what they are. Hope you get your date. I got mine today March 2nd. Maybe we could be roommates. Good luck tomorrow. JEN

How cool would it be to be roommates with someone from this board! I'll cross my fingers - March 2nd seems as a good a date as any! I'll let you know tomorrow! Then I get to be on pins and needles waiting for Cigna to approve it! Best Regards, Tammy

Good LUCK girl!!! That's so exciting! A new chance for a new beginning.. a fresh start... Let us know how you make out! I'm so happy for you! --CJ 250/174/140 non-op

Thanks CJ! I know you are speaking from experience when you say it's a new beginning - the cool thing is that everyone who has been in my shoes at one time are so excited for everyone to "get new shoes"!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the good wishes! Best Regards, Tammy

Seriously Tammy, life changes drastically (and for the better, for US), once we decide to make such a life-changing decision. It's a long hard road, but there's so many people around here to support you through everything!! It really will lead to a completely new life... a completely new you! --CJ
