OW, MY FACE

I posted this to the main LapBand board yesterday and got nearly no response - I'm so excited that I want anyone to share it with me.  You all have been so supportive that I decided to cross-post... Today, I got the call to let me know that I was accepted into the surgical program and to schedule my meeting with the coordinator.  The really weird part is that she called my cell phone, which I usually NEVER leave on during work.  My office is in the middle of the building with no windows and I never get any bars.  It stayed connected just long enough to find out who was calling.  When the call dropped, I tried redial, but got the main hospital number.  I DON'T KNOW HER LAST NAME! [EDIT:  it wasn't Nancy - I have her card and would have known how to reach her.  This was another person named Renee and I had no idea how to contact her] Please, please call back....
She did call back & got my landline number so we wouldn't have to worry about that again.  I'm scheduled for next Monday afternoon.  Woohoo!  I've been smiling so much for the last few hours that my face muscles are hurting!
Hey Cindita - do I get exercise credit for working out my face muscles? 

My Goodness, that's quite a story!  But the most important thnig is you have a date and that's very cool.  How wonderful.  Wishing you all the best and a little sleep though that may be hard to do with all the excitement, eh?  Treading 

Hey Neener that is wonderful news!!! I am so excited for you!!!!!! Of course you can count all your smiling as exercise... whatever it takes girlfriend!
