Finally Me Too!

I did it, I finally got approved from my insurance company, took almost a year, and now I have a surgery date...........drum roll please............Oct 25 2006!!!!!! Am I happy, YES. But also nervous and a little scared too. I would like any support from this great bunch of people, as you all know what I am going through now. Please tell me what to expect. Any one else with the same date? Would be nice to keep intouch. Ann

I had my surgery last year......just keep reading profiles and asking people things.... I'm happy to be here for you!!! email me anytime!!!!!!! Hugs and congrats on the BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will come really fast! Stacey

Ann, Congrats on getting a date. I can only imagine your excitement. I hope to get that call in a few weeks. Mine should be getting sent out for approval in the next couple of weeks. Good Luck to you on your surgery. Shawn M.

Hi Ann CONGRATS on getting your DATE!!! You have to be so excited now....just a couple months and you will be a loser!!! I am still working on getting my date and hope that soon I can be as excited as you are!!! Again CONGRATS!!!!! Hugs Judy

Thanks for all your encouragement, I am starting the "am I doing the right thing?" I will need all your help, as I know that this was meant for me, took since Sept 1 2005 to get approved, so I had a lot of time to research and find out if this is really what I want. And yes it is! I don't feel scarred or anything like that, I don't know, maybe everyone feels this way. I do feel bad that I have to take such a drastic measure as surgery to finally get this weight off, but as you all know, we have tried and tried and need this help cause can't do it alone! Anyway, sorry to ramble on and on, thanks for your encouragement. Ann
