My first time

Hi All, This is my first time posting... I am 23 and live in Cape Coral. I have my physc test and nutrition on Wed and then hopefully I will get a surgery date also... My sister had the surgery 1 year ago Sept so I got to go thru this with her now it's my turn, but I suppose I need an angel too? any volunteers? Jamie

Hi Jamie! I'm in Lehigh Acres and I'm 24 years old. Who is your surgeon? I'll be your angel, especially since I'm so close. Best wishes to you! Danielle

Jamie, Welcome to the group! You'll find it full of wonderful caring folks & a great souce of information. I'm waiting for insurance approval, then hope to have a surgery date, too. Let's keep our fingers crossed for each other! Keep us posted on your progress. Vickie J. aka: Tallahassee Lassie

Thanks for responding so quickly guys! It's great to know there are other people out there who are supporting you! I will hopefully get my date this week, I will keep everyone posted! Jamie

Hi Jamie, You are in great hands with Dr. Rosenthal. He was my husband's surgeon in April 2003. Omar's pre-op weight was 525 and he is now 225 in 16 months. Dr. R saved his life. I'm scheduled for surgery with him on September 23 and I'm very excited. I'm currently at 495 and would like to get down to about 200. Good luck with your physc eval. and your meeting with either Michelle or Emily. (both of whom are very helpful and know what they're talking about. LOL) Sincerely, Dawn in Orlando Pre-op Surgery is 9/23/04

HI Dawn, Congratulations on your date and your husbands, I am sure both of you will do great! I believe I am going to see Michele and Dr. A for my physc eval.. I'm starting to get excited now! I will let everyone know how things go.. Best Wishes, Jamie
