Please Pray for me to get a surgery date!!!

Hi there, I just wanted to let you all know that all that is holding me off from getting my surgery date is Natalie going over my psych eval and giving me a date. She expressed concern because they really like to use Dr. Nancy Bumby, but she for one, does not accept Medicaid and two, I am broke and three, Dr. Bauer, who I DID see has a background and extensive knowledge in bariatric surgery and obesity and has even written a book on it, so I am hoping and PRAYING that all goes well. Dr. Bauer said she was impressed with my knowledge of this procedure, the risks involved, reasonable expectations, how I will have to eat and all the rest that goes along with it. I told her I've did lots and lots of research. She said she would see no reason why I should not get this surgery. She knew the risks involved with obesity related illnesses outweighed the risk of surgery. SO~ PLEASE, PLEASE pray for me today, okay? That I get a date for surgery and a different psych. evaluator doesn't make the difference. I'll let ya know the outcome tomorrow or so. God bless ya!

Kelly, Looks as though I am in the same boat as you are. Still waiting to hear from Natalie to see what pre-op tests I will need and then on to get my date I pray at least. Keep me posted as to how it goes with you!

Kelly I am still saying my prayers for you and I both. Maybe this week we will finally hear something!

Thank you Marla... Didn't see this post updated until tonight.( Wednesday) Yep, I think your prayers may work because Natalie is supposed to call me tomorrow with an OR appt. and confirm Sept. 7 as my last clinics and visit with the anest. Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Thanks sweetie. I can use all the prayers I can get. I'll pray for you as well. Blessings, Kelly Packham
