Yay!

Thanks Angie. It is a good feeling. I'm finally done qualifying and they approve of me. It is a relief that that part is over. Ellen

Ellen, Good for you! you are on to the next step. Let us all know when you find out your surgery date.

Thanks Ethel!! I will certainly do that. Ellen

Soooo Happy for you.... I too am waiting for call from Dr. Chapman's office as to a date... Pitt finally got COE so now medicare will pay.. So I am waiting... Hope to meet you on the loosing bench soon.... Ellen It's worth it... Nelle

Thanks Nelle. I heard that they'd finally gotten their Certificate of Excellence, that's good news for you too. Good luck with the Medicare approval process. Ellen

I am so happy for you!!!!! You have helped me so much with your post and your friendship. I can't think of anyone who deserves this more then you. Hopefully I'll be following in your footsteps in the near future. Best of luck....Patsy

Thanks Patsy! I appreciate the kind thoughts. I hope you get your approval soon too. Good luck! ~Ellen

WOW! Congrats! You must be so excited... and girl, you are beautiful already - and look at your hair! how pretty....good luck on the journey and may your surgery be scheduled very soon. I am pre-op too and just finished my 6-month diet thing TODAY (actually I did 7 months to be sure) so I am continuing on my approval process. You've given me hope! Cheers Stefanie

Aww... I'm embarrassed now. Thanks for the kind words. Congratulations on completing the 6 month diet! That takes a lot of stick-to-it-ness. It took more than I thought I had when I went through it, twice! Good luck with the approval process. I hope it goes smoothly. Take Care. ~Ellen
