A special thank you!!

Hi everyone, 

I went for my first constulation yesterday with Dr. Sonfronski and he feels I will have no problem being approved for the Lap Band surgery.  My blood pressure was quite high yesterday and he was concerned about that since I do not take meds at ths time. BUT it sure helped with my case to the insurance company.  I have my Upper GI scheduled for 8/20 and then go  back to the Dr on 8/22 to go over my food journal (UGH) and have my BP checked again. Now is that dreaded wait for the insurance company's approval!

I would like to thank each of you for posting your ideas and experiences-it really helps.  I also would like to give Joanne a special thank you as she has been a great support to me.  She went to my first seminar with me and patiently listened to all my questions and concerns. I called her yesterday to let her know what the dr said and she was as excited as I was. Her husband was not doing well so lets keep her and her family in our prayers.

Thanks again to all!  Debbie

Debbie, Thanks for your kind words and prayers. I am learning right along with you. I really enjoy going to seminars, support groups and everything with everyone. I learn just as much as you. This journey is life time and you never can learn enough.  Now start your journal as instructed by the doc. I will be doing the same. Remember " You bite it-You write it ". Everything you drink too. It really does help. Please always remember you are not in this journey alone. We all are here for you always. Most of us are just an email or phone call away.  See you lighter. Joanne
