Good luck on your surgery! I will say a prayer that all goes well and you have a speedy recovery. It is soooo worth the pain of the surgery.

Topic: RE: AFTER ALL THIS TIME
Thanks angel. I just feel forgotten about from Oct 27th- December 9. they had all of my stuff and it took them that long to write one letter to the insurnace requesting the surgery. I know it will happen. I will now have to redo my cardiologist becaue it has been so long. She didnt even know she had everything when I spoke to her on November 9th. Then she said she would put it on Dr. Ass desk for letter to be written. A month later it was finally written and faxed. I know all patients are importand but it did not think it would take that long to do the letter. i am ready now to just get it over with and be on the loser bench. I want to feel better. AND MOST OF ALL I WANT TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THE LIQUIDS. lol I have been on them for forever. Hopefully soon.
I hope that all of OH and all of my friends have a VERY MERYY CHRISTMAS and may god bless you all.

first of all RELAX, take a few deep breaths and calm down!
remember that everything happens for a reason. keep in mind that around Nov. 22 the office staff was preparing for thanksgiving vacation. they have numerous patients and it's a surgery clinic and not got for weight loss patients. you just need to give it time, you will get approved! believe me, i have been on this same roller coaster, i was approved and scheduled for surgery several times before i actually had my procedure done. keep the faith and keep up the good work with the liquid diet, it will all be worth it int he end, just wait and see. Your time is coming and there is plenty of room for you on this loser's bench.

oh, sherri, i am so sorry the dr's office is dragging their feet; if only they would walk in our shoes for 2 months and see how we feel about the surgery taking longer to happen than we want; remember to put it in god's hands as he knows best for us; maybe for a good reason things are being delayed...i definitely know how u feel...keep ur chin up, girl, it is going to happen!!!
Topic: RE: Sugar Free Fudge Recipe!!
I tried this recipe last night and the fudge didn't set. I boiled the milk and splenda for about 30 mintues. I guess I will have to go and buy one of those candy thermometers in order to get it right.
Topic: RE: AFTER ALL THIS TIME
Unfortunately I got a call yesterday that the In Laws wasnt to do christmas tonight because a family member from Georgia is leaving to go back tomorrow. I wish some people planned stuff better but lol some are not OCD like me about things like that. I plan everything. Thanks for the response. I told my family nothing was going to make me miss next months meeting except surgery . I realy wish I was going to be there tonight. I was realy looking forward to meeting you and hearing all the things about our surgeries. I was told that my insurance has 14-24 working days to respond. All I can do is still wait. Have fun tonight. Let me know what happens....Sherri
