I'VE BEEN APPROVED

DEAR BARBARA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONGRATULATIONS AS WELL. I APPRECIATE YOUR WELL WISHES ON MY UPCOMING SURGERY. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT GETTING IT OVER WITH, BUT VERY NERVOUS ABOUT HAVING THE FILTER PUT IN THIS COMING MONDAY TO HELP PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL BLOOD CLOTS GOING TO MY LUNGS OR HEART. THANKS AGAIN AND HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!!

It's a fairly common procedure. I'd be glad to put you in touch with someone who has had it done when she had her surgery at UNC Chapel Hill in March. It is done as a preventative measure and I'm sure that it will go well.

If you'd like to talk w/someone who has had it done recently, please let me know.

All the best,

Barb

P.S. I hope to get to meet you sometime in the near future. We are working on getting a Triangle WLS support group together, please let me know if you might be interested.

DEAR BARBARA,          THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR RESPONSE. I WILL PASS ON THE CONTACT REGARDING THE FILTER, AND I AM SURE IT WILL GO WELL.    I WOULD BE INTERSTED IN THE WLS SUPPORT GROUP WHEN YOU ALL GET IT GOING. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED AS THINGS DEVELOP ON THAT. HOPEFULLY, YOU AND YOURS WILL HAVE A BLESSED AND ENRICHING WEEKEND.

RESPECTFULLY YOURS,

LEVI

DEAR AMANDA,            THANK YOU FOR THE CONGRATULATIONS. I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT FRANKLIN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. IT IS LOCATED IN LOUISBURG, NC. MY IMPRESSION OF THAT PLACE IS THAT IT IS WAY WAY BEHIND THE TIMES. HOWEVER, MY WIFE WHO HAS BEEN A GREAT SUPPORT  OF MINE THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE BARIATRIC WORKUP THUS FAR THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED DR. ENOCHS BACKGROUND AND HE HAS A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE  SUCCESS RATE AND IS HIGHLY SKILLED IN THE AREA OF HIS BARIATRIC AND SURGERY SKILLS. I FIRST MET DR. ENOCK IN A BARIATRIC SUPPORT GROUP OVER AT THE CANCER CENTER AUDITORIUM AT REX HOSPITAL. HE HAS MADE A WONDERFUL IMPRESSION ON ME. DR ENOCH IS VERY DOWN TO EARTH.  I CAN TELL THAT HE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS. I AM A BELIEVER IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND TRUST HE WILL GUIDE DR. ENOCH WHILE HE PERFORMS MY SURGERY. IF DR. ENOCH DID NOT MAKE THE IMPRESSION ON ME THAT HE DID, I WOULD SEEK TO HAVE THE SURGERY ELSEWHERE. I AM CONFIDENT IN WHOM I DEPEND ON, FIRST THE LORD AND THEN DR. ENOCH TO DO HIS BEST. WHEN MY NUMBER COMES UP, I HAVE A BLESSED ASSURANCE RESERVATION SO I AM FINE WITH THAT TOO. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE GOD IS ANY WHERE NEAR DONE WITH ME.   I WISH YOU EVERY SUCCESS IN OVERCOMING ALL THE HOOPS THAT YOU HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH. THERE IS  NO MOUNTAIN SO HIGH THAT WITH THE LORD'S HELP  YOU CAN NOT CLIMB, NOR IS THERE ANY VALLEY SO  LOW THAT WITH THE LORDS HELP YOU CAN NOT ASCEND FROM OR WALK THROUGH VICTORIOUSLY. THAT BEING SAID. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND EMBRACE YOU CLOSELY AS YOU OVERCOME THE HOOPS THAT ARE JUST AHEAD. SINCE HE THAT KEEPETH ISRAEL, NEITHER SLUMBERS NOR SLEEPS, BE CERTAIN OF THIS VERY THING; " GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH THESE TRIALS AND I TRULY BELIEVE YOU SHALL PREVAIL. HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!! WITH EVERLASTING FAITH, LEVI
