I Made It - Please Read My Update!

I posted the first of last week asking advice about my problem - my insurance won't be covering this process after the 1st of the year and I had everything ready to go ... other than a date this year! Here's the update - I found a doctor who had one open date, but he's in South Carolina about 4 hours from here. HOwever, I don't care! I'm In - on December 28, 2005 I begin my transformation! Thank you for your replies and thoughts. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers - I'm very nervous, but also very excited! Thanks, Crystal

Hello Crystal... Congratulation on your date for surgery.... I am glad things worked out for you... I will keep you in my prayers that everything works out great for you....You have a Merry Christmas... Brenda..

What doctor are you seeing in SC. I'm from SC and travel 2 hours one way to see my doctor in Columbia, SC Wendy

Hi Crystal, I had my surgery in August, and it was the best decision I ever made. I am now down 71lbs. My doctor is in Charleston SC, and I would have driven hours if I had to. Good Luck! Will be praying for you! Let us know who you are going to. Merry Christmas Deborah

WOW, 71 #s IS A MAJOR LOSS THERE, MS DEBORAH. IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE WE'VE SEEN YOU. AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, YOU'LL HAVE TO COME TO OUR LCBB MEETING. THE 1st ONE IN JANUARY IS ON THE 5th! NO EXCUSES ... WE ALL WANT TO SEE THE NEW YOU!!! CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS DAWN & NICK

THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST NEWS IMAGINABLE! WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, GOD OPENS A WINDOW ... BUT, IF WE DON'T GIVE UP, THERE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE A WAY!!!!!!!!!!! WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER FOR YOU. WHO IS YOUR SURGEON & WHERE ARE YOU HAVING THE SURGERY DONE? IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, I WOULD HAVE TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD TO HAVE THIS SURGERY. IT IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF (EXCEPT MARRYING NICK, OF COURSE) & FOR MY HEALTH. GO FOR IT & DONT LOOK BACK! WHAT A MIRACULOUS CHRISTMAS PRESENT, MS CRYSTAL! CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS FOR A SUCCESSFUL WLSurgery & UNEVENTFUL RECOVERY DAWN & NICK
