CONSULT DATE!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am giddy! I get Dr. Patterson! She is back for apts and I get a consult with her on the 21st of April! She is the surgeon I wanted all along, I am soo happy! I have waited almost exactly 2 years for this apt to come! I am so thrilled, I am balling like a baby! Brandi

Hi Brandi! Congratulations! That is so exciting. I want to go to Dr. Patterson also. So please let me know how everything goes. Alischa

Brandi: Go**** seems like you've waited for this forever, girl. Congratulations and keep us informed! Pam

Yeahhhhhhhhh!!! I was thinking about you on the 30th, and wanting to know how the pre-op session went. I am so glad that you get to have your appointment this month. Dr. Patterson it is - great! Dr. Hong would have been great too, but this seems like part of your destiny for working these long two years! I hope everything is done, so that when you go she can look at her calendar and say.....let's do it next week!?! I know you have school and life stuff, but let's get this show on the road! If there is any logistic help you need (I can give rides or make jello, but I can't pass any final exams for you) don't hesitate to ask. Patty

Congrats Brandi!!! I am so happy for you! Before long you will be post op and on your way to a new you. Lara

I'm so happy for you! You've definitely had to jump through the hoops and suffered several set backs to get to this point. Congrats girl! Michele

Thankx everyone! I am truly sooo excited! I have doubled up the diet and workout times. I walked 3 miles today in one stretch. I was in so much back pain by the end, I thought I would die, but I did it! I know it will only get easier, I just need to get over this last hurtle and I am on my way to a healthier me! WOOHOO! Brandi

Brandi, Hey there, I always think about you and hope you were going to get your surgery. Dr. P. was my Dr. though I have never seen her since my surgery (her giving birth and all) I am very happy with the results. If you have any questions or just want to meet before surgery to pick my brain let me know. I did this to everyone else and I know how it feels. But you have been online for so long you probably know all the answers now......LOL Best of luck and let us know your surgery date! YAHOO! Nadine
