I talked to Judy at my surgeon's office today and she scheduled me for my final consult. I will actually get to meet Dr. Hodge, at last. It is for November 10. I will be done with the 6 month diet then and will hopefully have all my paperwork in. All I lack in that area is documentation of my 6 month diet. I have most of that but am just waiting on the last two chart notes. Judy said I can expect to have surgery sometime in January. Whooo Hooo.
Blessings,
Karen

Congratulations Karen.  And to think just a few short weeks ago things didn't look quite this good.  Your diligence has paid off and you are going to be starting a new life really soon.  Again congratulations and keep us posted.

Thanks, Wendy. I'm awfully excited but still the letter from my psychiatrist may not be acceptable. It was handwritten and my pdoc is low tech. She doesn't have a personal secretary. Still, the content was good and I could probably get some one in the office to type it and resubmit if necessary. I attached a letter explaining to the surgeon. I'm a chronic worrier and this worry may all be for nothing. Keep your fingers crossed.
Blessings,
Karen

Karen,
I'm sure everything will be fine and the surgeon will accept the letter.  I understand about being a chronic worrier, used to be one of those myself.  That is an area of my life that I've really worked on and I've just given it all over to God and allow Him to have control.  It's easier said than done and it's taken me a lot of years to get to that point, so hang in there.  Instead of crossing my fingers, I'm going to continue praying for your situation - I think we will get better results that way (LOL).

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.  I know from your posts you are planning on attending the function at Marilyn's, so enjoy yourself.  Let your hair down a little and roll with the flow - you will have an awesome time and come away with some new found friends - I'm sure of it.  Can't wait to hear about all the fun you all are going to have.

Hugs to you my friend,
Wendy

Thanks, Wendy. I appreciate the prayers. I'm looking forward to visiting Marilyn and meeting everyone. I have to laugh out loud about letting my hair down though. I'm still practically bald. After my daughter cut my hair that time, I found I liked not having to bother with it so I've kept it short. I don't have a recent photo or I would post it. I've never been a person who has great hair. It is baby fine and straight as a board and very unflattering on me. For now, I think I"m going to keep it this way. Maybe later on, after surgery, I will let it grow back out and try to do something with it.
Blessings,
Karen

Thanks, Cheryl. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Saturday too. I keep waiting for something to go wrong during the process. I guess that is my old pessimistic self showing through. All things are looking good at the moment though.
BLessings,
Karen

Congratulations Karen.  I know what great news this is for you.  I've read your posts and the struggles you have had to get to this point.  I can understand your doubts this will finally fall into place, I had those doubts too(had several set backs myself with paperwork****il I got the acceptance letter in hand lol. But you are one determined lady and I have no doubt this will happen for you! 
Best of luck,
Jane
