PLAYING THE WAITING GAME

Hello my new friends, I spoke to Rhonda on Thursday and she said that she sent my letter to medicaid on Wednesday. Now I just have pray and wait. Wish me luck you guys. I really want and need this so desperately.o.****il later. Thanks Kelli

Hey my girl....you know what would be so groovy is if we have it the same day!!! Looks like we are on the exact same pattern of the waiting game. Although when I had talked with Rhonda she didn't say anything about getting something in the mail. So....I don't know what that is about. But girl, you know I'll be calling her back this week, probably Thursday. I saw Dr. Kongara and he started to dictate the letter when I left out of his office. He says I'm a good canidate and so on! He was a little hard to understand sometimes and I just wanting to say HUH....but I saved my cajunness (lol) and would say "excuse me". LOL You know you are already in my prayers....we gonna be those hot moma's together one day, LOL. Hang in there........ ps....oh yea, i just saw my spruced up site today, LOL, I didn't know it was done yet.

Hi just read your note, thanks. This is such a wonderful sight. I hope you know something real soon. Rhonda just said that when they receive notice I/we will get notice also. Sounds good, huh? Although I will not be able to keep Dr.O as my doctor because of the wight restrictions at the hospital. It's o.k. though because "ain't nuthin gonna stop me now" HeeHee! I have received a couple of notes from Diane, she's such a nice lady. Just as you are. Thanks for yalls support. You be good and keep the faith. Kelli p.s. Tell Casey I said hello.

Kelli, I will says some prayers for you. I hope everything will work out hte way you hope it will. I know how you feel about wanting the surgery so bad and there is an obstacle in the way. I had a few obstacles in my way too. 3 weeks before I was suppose to have my RNY I found out I had puenomia in my right lung. So my original date was out I cried for a few days and then got over it and focused on a new date and getting better so I could have that date. Well I got over my illness and got my new date that was Aug 16th just in time before Katrina hit. So I know in the end things will work out for you too. Keep your chin up. if you need to talk just email me. Take care, Chrissy 226/163/125

HI CHRISSY, IRECEIVED YOUR MESSAGE A FEW DAYS AGO AND AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO RESPOND TO YOU MY SYSTEM WENT ON THE BLINK. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR OF ENCOURAGEMENT. IT'S SO NICE TO BE MEETING ALL OF YOU. I THINK THAT I WILL FOR SURE BE A LIFELONG MEMBER OF OH. OH YEAH, HOW COULD I FORGET, I GOT MY APPROVAL LETTER IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY. SOOOOOO EXCITED! I CAN'T BELEIVE THAT IT ONLY TOOK ONE WEEK. I CAN'T WAIT. NOW I JUST NEED TO FIND AN ACCOMODATING HOSPITAL, SEEING AS THOUGH DR.O HAS PRIVELAGES AT ST.TAMMANY HOSP. AND THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. IT'S O.K. THOUGH BECAUSE I KNOW THAT GOD IS ON MY SIDE AND AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Kelli, I would see if Dr O can admit to Lakeview I think he can. I know we can accomadate the bigger size patients. Dr Lavin did now that was 650 pounds. I work at Lakeview too so I will check on the Dr O thing and get back to you. Thnigs are good with me. I am 5 months out and sown 65# so far. and I am only 30 pounds away from goal.
