* * I've Been Approved * *

Yipppeeeee... Misty from Dr Irgau's office just called to tell me that I have been approved for surgery. That was so great to hear. After my initial joy, I told her about how I'd like to switch dates with my sister, if it's ok with my sister and she said NO PROBLEM. I'm very happy about this. It's really going to happen -- maybe even sooner than we think.

Congrats on your approval Diane - I wish you the best with the rest of your wls journey! Blessings - B

Hey Diane, This is such great NEWS!!! I am so happy for sweetie.....good things does come to those who wait Congrats... Switching dates huh? Does this mean that your not going to be an August Loser now???? I don't blame you..... you've sure waited your turn and then some..... Shay

Wow Dianne that's GREAT!!!! I am so very happy for you. You have waited so long for all this and I'm thrilled that it's your turn now. When is your sister's date? Yaaaay! 'in for you. Linda

My sister is 8/3/04. Hope it's mine.

I'm so happy for you Dianne! You've been so patient for so long. Here's wishing you the earliest date possible!!! Ken

Wooohoooo! You are on your way!!! Persistance pays off - your day will be here before you know it! Congrat's!!! ((hugs)) Carla

All I can say is it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. I'm so happy for you Diane. Can I be your 2nd Angel? I think you really deserve 2 for all the stress you have been through. Either way August is closer than you think. Try to stay focused & positive. Remember this is for your health so you can keep up with those kids. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Sure Elissa, you can be my co-angel! I would love that. The boys better get ready for me, not so long from now I'll be able to catch them!

Yay!!! I remember the day I got that call. I was at work and I screamed so loud people thought I was crazy! I was dancing inside. Of course, back then dancing was out of the question for me.... but today.... Wooo hoo!! I'm like Tigger....very bouncy and full of energy. I'm down 105# and holding for the last month. Things are shifting around and I have dropped another size but no poundage in a month. This is the 1st loooong plateau I have had so not too bad. merry merry
