Yes it is true

12 days ago I was approved for WLS and was keeping it quite, cause my mother is having her knee replacement the same week. I did not wanted her to worry about me or cancel her surgery. So no one was told until my PCP who also treats my sister, open his mouth. And news travel quick. I go Sept. 10 2004. I told the Deaconess WLS Staff to keep it quite and they did. Thanks to the one that was arround to encourage me to fight and not to give up. And to be honored to have encouragement moments from the Late MaMa Angel. I'm finally got approved {Paula} I know you are still with us in spirit Thanks Daniel
