APPROVAL

HEY EVERYONE, WELL I FINALLY GOT MY APPROVAL LETTER FROM INS. CO, AFTER JUMPING THRU ONLY ONE HOOP GOT A CALL FROM LISA YESTERDAY AND HAVE MY SECOND CONSULTATION W/ DR. BRYNE ON OCT 2. TWO DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. NOW THE NERVES ARE BEGINING. BUT I'M SURE EVERYONE HAS HAD THEM SO I'M NOT ALONE. AND I KNOW OUR HOLY FATHER IN HEAVEN WILL PROVIDE. DONNA (SFY) SOUTHERN FRIED YANKEE

Hey Donna from another Donna, Congratulations on your approval. Yes it does get nerve racking. I even had to go on Lexapro because I started having bad panic attacks. I had my preacher and our deacons to lay hands on me and pray that God would calm my nerves and I promise you the night before surgery, I slept like a baby. The morning of surgery I was so calm...not one fear because I knew that God was in control and He was there with me. I have not had any problems eating or drinking. The only problem that I've had is that I had a fluid pocket form under my incision and they had to open that up and I'm having to pack it twice a day but other than that this whole experience has been a breeze...no it has been an answered prayer and blessing!!! I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and I've lost 29 pounds so far. I thank God for every ounce I lose!!! Just keep asking the Lord to calm your nerves and give you peace. You're gonna be on the losing side before you know it. I'll be praying for you!!! Take care, Donna R

Congratulations! Everything will be fine. You are on your way to a better and healthier life. Kathy
