Favorite Movie of all time?? tough choice between, League of their Own, Overboard, or Fields of Dreams. Where I am at in my journey? GOt pre-approval TODAY after appeal. I have already done the phsyc. (SP?) consult (yes, Dr. Sampel lol), nutritionist meeting, had letter of recommendation from pulminary, etc. just need to have second consult and schedule a date. And labs, etc.

Grease and The Music Man are my favorites. Course I am partial to musicals. Plus, I was a Wa-Tan-Ye girl in The Music Man for our high school production. Pick a little talk a little . . . . OMG, my 2 yr anniv is Sunday. I had the VBG done in 1997 and went from 364 to 212, RNY done 6-29-01 and from 295 to a low of 183, but now 199. Hernia and panni done 11-02.

Favorite movie? Thats a hard one cuz it keeps changing. I find one I really like and then watch it over and over until I'm sick of it. The ones I've done that with include The Color Purple, Gone with the Wind, Where the Heart Is, and most recently Bruce Almighty.My idea of a good movie is one that can make you laugh just as hard as you cry!~ My ins has approved and my tentative surgery date is August 5 in Cedar Rapids with Dr Keating. (Hubby had knee surgery June 4, daughter will have tonsils out on her birthday July 18, and me on Aug 5!!!) Are we gluttons for punishment or what!! (our out of pocket was met with my husbands surgery so everything else will be covered 100%)
