OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!

I just got back from Sedalia and my appointment today with Dr. Hornbostel and I can breath again, I was so happy I didn' want to cry in front of him and soon as it really hits me that I am going to really have the surgery at last I'll probably flood something. Our meeting went very well, he is a very thorough and gracious man, very informative and I could not be happier. So now I just have to wait for the next phase, hope it's soon but I have waited this long so I'll try to be patient, Thanks to Colette for suggesting Dr. H, and for eveyone else's encouragement, prayers are being answered and happy feet are dancing.

Barbara, So very happy for you this evening!!! God continues to bless our friends on here. I told you he was a nice man and an excellent doctor. I will keep watching for any more postings of our friends on here. Waiting to hear from Jan. Her date should be coming soon too. Colette

Hi Colette. I still havent heard anything from Sedalia but will try to wait patiently. I have my cell phone with me every minute of every day. Dont want to miss that call. Wasnt today a wonderful ,beautiful day? After all the rain and cold and wind we have had it was amazing. Congradulations Barbara on getting into see Dr. H. Colette should be getting a bonus from him for all the patients that she is sending his way. Jan

Hey Jan, thanks for your congrats, wouldn't that be something if Dr. H. would compensate Colette because I for two would recommend it I probably would still be sitting here snotting and crying over Dr. Augustin LOL, but Colette was part of God's plan for me, and giving me some more people to pray for, so everything works out for the good, oh yeah I saw your flowers, I wish I had a green thumb but the only thing I seem to grow is dust Have a wonderful day!

Hey Colette thanks for your reply, yes the Dr. has a very calming manner about him and it let's you know everything is going to be all right. I was so tired from my trip until I zonked out about 10:30P or so. Wishing you a great day!

Congrats Barbara on your Appt. I think Dr. Hornbostel is just awsome...Right now. I do feel for the man... They are being overwhelmed with New Patients since the New COE. I was even called and told about my surgery date on a Sunday and it was Mothers Day..So you know they had to be busy to work on a Sunday and a holiday... Again.. I want to put in a good word for ALL Dr. Hornbostels Patients....Dena still wanted me to let you all know...They are working really hard to get everyone taken care of...Just bare with them please....I told her I would do this for her...She is a sweetheart and really working hard...I have been praying for her and Marge.....Dena called me about my surgery date...then Monday...Marge calls me about my pre-op appt.. (which is on my birthday if you all missed that one lol)...Gonna be the best Birthday of my life.....NOW...I cant want for my angel to get her date and the rest of my buddies on here.....I know its coming soon so get ready....heehhe....I do love ya all for being so nice and all the prayers....and Barbara...its gonna be so nice to be on the losers bench... Mellissa promised she would save us a place lol.....Craig Lee

Thanks Craig, I know they are very busy my husband said he thought he saw another woman from KC yesterday that was in the Program at TMC when I was there so I'm thankful that Dr. H. accepted me as a patient, I try so hard not to get depressed about not having my surgery in March but I have come to the conclusion that God had a better plan, so I am thankful, keeping everyone you in my prayers also. I was so tired from my trip until I was knocked out by 10:30P and I'm usually a late nighter.

Barbara. I was suppose to have my surgery in March but I got turned away also through Medicare and the new COE rule....Then I found Dr. Hornbostel through my other doctor in Columbia....Over the years I kept running into brick walls with getting this WLS...In Feb. I thought I had finally needed to accept that it was meant for me not to have the surgery and just prepared myself for my future outcome.....Life seemed bleek for me....I got on the board and everyone was so good accepting me talking to me and giving me encouragement...So here Iam.....I thnk God for each and everyone of them on here...Obesityhelp.com is t he best invention since the napkin...LOL...ever heard that old saying? lol...........hang in here and let God do his handy work on us......Craig Lee
