Update
Hello to my extended family & friends:
First and for most Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts!!! My mother had surgery on Wed they had to put her in ICU cuase when they went to take out the tube she wouldnt breath on her own. 
That was enough to stop my heart. They took her off the breathing tube last night. She has been sitten up and talking like crazey all day today. They are talking about her going home in the next day or two. YIPPIE!!!!!
Okay, now about me and my appointment. I went to see Dr. Scott yesterday. So far I have lost over 45 lbs. He was really pleased with me. And that made me feel really good about myself. He is submitting my insurance approval and just as soon as I hear or they hear something I will get my date. Dr. Scott said that from the time insurance approval to surgery date it is usually 2 weeks. I am so over joyed and excited!!! It now feel like this dream of mine will actually be acheived!!! Praise be to GOD!!! Thanks to everyone for the encourgement and inspiration.
I will post and update my profile when I get home. Keyboard bigger then this little laptop. My fingers are too fat for the keyboard. Also instead of having to go all the way to Columbia, MO for my mandatory meeting. They are having one in Springfield, MO on the 28th of this month. So the only other thing I will have to do is go to my information class (once I am approved) God Bless you all. Have a good weekend coming up!!!

Melissa everytime i read your post I smile. Thank God for your Mom being ok. Yes indeed you will be a loser soon 
Thank God your Mom is doing better and coming home soon! That is great news! Congrats on the 45lb. loss that is awesome! You are doing great and good luck with your approval. I hope to see you on the losing side with me soon. I just got my approval letter today and faxed it to Dr. de la Torre so my classes are coming soon! I am so happy for you Melissa!!
Hey Girl,
Been looking for you since your last post. Praise God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon you and your family. Prayers do work.
Glad your mom is doing better and soon she will get home and you can get some much needed rest also. So happy also about your good news.
Keep us posted as we want to encourage you all the way. Colette
Melissa,
I am so glad that you have so much good news to share with us today. Your mom will be home in no time, and you will be posting a surgery date. How sweet is that!!
We can't wait to shove over and give you a spot on the losers' bench. I know Wayne is probably ready to give us all a big shove so you can find a seat.
Losing 45 lb. is a wonderful thing. Just wait until the lbs start dropping off after surgery. You are going to feel so great!!

You are just full of great news. I am so glad to hear your moms doing well. Once she gets to go home you better get some rest, you are going to need it for your big day. I am SO proud of you. You have stuck to the program and done so much to deserve this surgery and now its almost here. I have already done all the shovin and pushin necessary to save a seat right beside me on this losers bench. Again, try to get some rest and know you have a lot of people praying for you and your mom. Love ya.
