Home from DrDuncans office...

I met with Dr Fields today, she was so nice. The first thing she said to me was "you're so pretty". Its been along time since Ive heard it that way, its usually " you have such a pretty face". Anyway she was kind and I had everything I needed to submit to insurance, YEA!!! I had lab work done today and I have to get an Echocardiagram{sp} and lose 15 pounds. Thats all! I cant believe it. So I will work very hard to drop these 15 lbs and then they will give me a surgery date. I cant wait to be a "LOSER". Thanks for all the encouraging emails, they really help. Angie

Hi Angie, Good for you!!! I am SO glad to hear it went well. I have submitted my packet and I'm just waiting to hear from their office. So you liked Dr. Fields? I'm sure I'll see her too. I would love to chat with you...share our stories too. I am also trying to do as mucha as possible ahead of time so I can become a loser as soon as possible! My e-mail address is [email protected] Best of luck and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Hugs, Ann

Glad to hear everything went well, Keep us posted!

Yeah for you I know you are flying high already. 15 pounds you can breeze through that. Just think you'll not gain it back this time b/c you 'll have the surgery. I am so happy for you. I bet you ran home and already made an appt for the EKG. I think you can do that at the Hospital just get your PCP get a referral sheet and call and make the appt. I got it in 3 days. Good Luck and keep us up to date so we can cheer you on. Hugs, Heather Just remember just b/c you might have extra pounds it doesn't hide prettiness. And Dr. Fields is right, so keep your chin up! 242/233/184/130
