Finally got surgery date

I finally got my Aetna EPO insurance approval and Amy called today my surgery is set for March 25th at OLOL with Dr Karl LeBlanc in Baton Rouge La. I am having RYN (lap). I am soooooooooo excited. I am ready to do the work and I love this sote. This is my first time on the message board but I read the questions and answers that are sent in everyday. My family is being VERY supportive and I am thankful for that. I look forward to getting to know some of the people here on the boards in La. I had read the crawfish topic and we are having a big family boil on the 15 so I can enjoy it. we usually do it for Easter but due to my surgery we are doing it earlyThanks for listening. Bev

Congratulations, Beverly! I'm very excited for you and thrilled to have you a part of both our gathered support group (New U) and our online support community here. Like the rest of the LeBlanc-converts, I can't say enough good about your chosen surgeon. He's wonderful and we are all blessed to be a part of the "House that Support Built" in both the practice and the support organization. I hope to speak to you soon. We have started some morning-of-surgery welcome wagon visits, but I will be out of town on your surgery date. I would love to see if you would mind getting a visit from the support group before or after your surgery.  Let me know when you are doing your pre-op testing and I'll try to come over and buy you lunch or a cup of coffee. Glad to have you headed for the "losers bench!" Frances

Hi Frances, Thanks so much. I was at the meeting Tuesday night and Auban caught up with me and we set my Pre-op for Wed. at 7:30 so I have finished that. I do appreciate your offer. I would love to see you. I am sure I will need encouragement after surgery as well. Thanks Bev

Congratulations on your surgery date!  You are definitely in for a life changing experience and a life long journey!

Thnaks to everyone for your encouragement I do appreciate it. Bev
