To answer the questions about the money

I did call EDMC today and was able to make a down payment and have payments over the next 6 months. Not too bad. I also had my consult with Rachel today...boy is my body in for a real shock with food...lol. D'Lynn

Sounds good, now you're on your way....... Joyce

Hey D'Lynn!! Okay--now we're getting down the the wire on things with you! How you doing with all this? Still keeping the nerves at bay? I think of you about 100 times a day, wondering if there is anything ELSE on your mind at this point except WLS. I think I'd be consumed by thoughts of it. What sort of program did Rachel lay out for you? I'm eaten up with curiosity!! I'll be there Tues with Mike while you're in surgery....I hope he is fairly calm or the two of us might be in a world of trouble! haha (just kidding..I'll be his rock even if my insides are jello!) I'll run right home after your are in recovery and report back to the board how things went. I'm so excited for you! Do you remember when WLS was just something you thought about late at night in bed--and no one else knew you even wanted it?!? NOW it's about to be your turn. All the waiting, hoping and dreaming about a solution to the weight problems is almost over--your solution is on the way!!!! Let me know if I can do anything for you. Are you heading home after being dismissed from the hospital--or will you hang out a day or so in the Atlanta area? If you're staying around town for a few days, I want to know so I can help out. Big tight hugs!!! Michelle
