I called my insurance company last night and the approval had gone out that day in the mail!!  I called Fairview WLS this morning and tried to get on the same day as my sister (Dec 28) but that had already been filled so I am having surgery on December 14th!!~!~!!!!  Dr Benn is doing the surgery and it is at 10:30 at Fairview Southdale...  This means I will not be singing at Christmas masses but this is totally worth it... 

Now it seems so much more real...  pretty nervous, anxious, excited and overwhelmed but this is going to be aweswome!!  How often in life to we get to reverse our real age and actually "youthen?"

Kevin,

Congratulations that is great news!  You're right, it's freaky to get a date as it does feel so much more real!  I'm having my surgery on the 10th and my emotions are all over the board.  I have the pleasure to getting to do the 2 weeks of liquid before surgery so now the 10th can't come soon enough!

I'm excited for you and your sister as you go on this journey together.  We will be in Burnsville at Panera on Saturday at 8:30 if you feel like coming for "coffee" to celebrate.

Kristy (the Kristy that you met at coffee on Saturday)

Yayyyyyyyy Kevin.  So good to have someone to go through surgery with.  You and Vanish will simply vanish (pun intended).  Congrats on the date.

YAY! Isn't it so exciting?  Too bad you didn't get the same date as your sister, but how cool your date is only 2 weeks away!  Congratulations!
