Horray!!!!!

YIPPIE!!!!! My consult day is finally here!!!! I am nervious, sick to my stomach, excited, scared, anxious, ect all roll into one. Please keep me in your prayers. I am having so many problems with my back and knees due this this weight. I really need for this surgery to be approved. I know God didnt get me this far for it not too go thro. But I would appricate all the prayers I can get right now!! God bless you all. Your such an inspriation to me!! Love Melissa Joplin, MO

Melissa, How did your consult go? Don't give up, do everything they tell you to do and if your insurance has the benefit than you will have the surgery it just depends on how many hoops you have to jump through to get it. I am so proud of you and your patience. I remember when I was in your position right now and I just had to trust God and know that He wants the best for me. I got a date and now I can't believe that it is going to happen. You will be great--hang in there. Much love, Penni

Melissa, I understand that you are nervous, but you will be fine. You know everyone on the OH boards are wishing you well and sending prayers you way. Go gett em!! Linda

Well Melissa, Today is the day. I am soooooooooo nervous also. I have been trying for a year to get to this point. I am sure we will meet in Dr. Scott's office. I will pray for you and please pray for me also.

congrats for you Melissa. I know how you feel. I just got surgery date for 11-14-2005. Can you tell me how one updates their profile. I put on mine but it came at the top(if you look at it). I can not figure out how to do it. Thanks and good luck. Colette

OMG!!!!!!!! My angelette got her date! You go, sister! I am soooooo excited for you! I have that date on my desk calendar at school! I will be in contact with you through email. Do you have family support? Will you need me to sit at the hospital with your family during surgery? If you feel comfortable giving me your phone number, I will call you. My number is 816-732-6775. If you can, come to the support meeting October 12th. I will be there and we can meet in person!!!!! Patty
