MARCH 16TH IS MY DATE!!!

Pending all of my pre-op goes well, I will be having Gastric Bypass Surgery on March 16th, at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge.  My surgeon is Dr. Mark Haussman.  I have UHC (EPO) insurance.

YIPPIE!!!  FINALLY!!!!!!

 

Best wishes to you --- that will be the best decision you have ever made --- check out this board often because you will learn a lot from reading about other people's experiences --- have you gone to the support group meeting at OLOL yet?  It's the first Thursday of the month . . .  I don't remember seeing you there --- the support group meeting has really helped me -- again, best wishes to you and keep us posted on your progress . . FAYE

Hi Faye,

No I haven't.  I didn't want to go to the support groups and get my hopes up until I won my appeal with the insurance company.  I read the newsletter that had the Holiday party pics in it and wished that I had gone.   It is my intention to come to the meeting in March and then to continue from there.  I am actually looking forward to it!

Since November, everytime I have a few minutes I read whatever I can on this website.  I truely love it.  I have enjoyed reading the life stories, too!  You know, I tend to think I am alone in the world sometimes dealing with the issues of being overweight, but now I am beginning to realize that there are so many people are just like me, struggling to live a quality life and raise healthy children.  I guess in a wierd sort of way, this website is comforting to me...

Thanks for the words of encouragement...

Kim

Congratulations Kim!

Thanks so much Faith!  You do the same...

I must say cajungirl, I hope that I don't fall off...lol

Okay, okay...I had to go there.  Really, thanks so much.  I do appreciate it!

Kim
