When she called I almost asked her if you got a call too.  But I stopped myself because I knew she wouldn't tell me anyway.  I was really hoping when I emailed you would tell me you got a call too.  Hopefully, very, very soon Terrie!

I have my first appointment with Dr. Pace June 16. 

I'n going for Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Can't wait to join you on the losers bench Jenn!

Wishing Jenn all the best with her surgery and a speedy recovery.

Here's praying that Jenn has a speedy recovery.

Wow newfie88 you must have the magic touch.  I've asked Janice about the wait list several times but she will never tell me anything.  My referral went in around Feb 23 so I'm about a week ahead of you.  Did she tell you how may were ahead of you on the current list, other than the ones from 2002 I mean?  I asked as well, Jenn, why someone from 2010 was being done before the 2002s (just trying to understand how thing work).  She cut me right off and said I would have to ask Dr. Pace when I see him.  I explained that I'm not mad or upset, just trying to understand how all this is going to work.  I guess she thought I was from the 2002 list.  When I said my referral went in in Feb 2011 she said then what are you complaining about.  I said I wasn't complaining, I was just wanting to know how things would work.  She is usually very nice but I must have caught her on an off day. 

Jenn,  don't think we are complaining about you getting done so early.  Someone had to go first and It makes complete sense that the first few Dr. Pace does would have a lower BMI and probably no other health issues too.  I'll be sending good thoughts your way on Friday.  Dr. Pace may be new to this surgery but from what I hear he is an excellent surgeon. Try and post a quick note as soon as you can (or have someone else do it ) to let us know how the surgery went.  I'll be in St. John's this weekend and I'll be wondering how your doing the whole time I'm there.  Best Wishes for a speed recovery.
