BIG...BIG...BIG NEWS!!!!!!
Kathy, that is BIG BIG news. I am so very happy for you!! Congratulations. And as weird as it seems, this period of getting this approved may be good in that it really makes this something that you have worked for, you've had lots (did I say LOTS) of time to really research it and feel good about your decision. My process was about 9 months and I know that by the time I got there, I was totally ready! On my day of surgery and the days before I was very serene and confident. I know yours has been longer, but it will make it that much sweeter!!
Enjoy this pre-time Kathy. It will go fast from now on. You are so beautiful, and this surgery is going to totally change your life. But you are very very ready!!
love to you Kathy!

Hey Donna,
Thank you ever so much for all the well wishes and compliments. You are a beautiful person. You are right about me being so ready for this. Seems the longer you wait for it the more ready you are to do it. I have done a lot of research and met a lot of people who have already had it done. I've seen the wonderful effects that this surgery has on their quality of life. I feel very relaxed in my decision and now I am just waiting for my day to come. I am sure it will happen even quicker than I can imagine. I am going to need all of you even more now that I am embarking on this new frontier of my life. Nothing beats the advice of those who have gone before you. Thanks again for all your support and love. It means the world to me.
Lots of Love
Kathy

Hey Christina,
Thanks so much for the wonderful words of encouragement. And yes persistence does pay.......I was not going to give up until I heard the words "you're approved" and when I did.........they were the sweetest words I've ever heard in my entire life. It's a wonderful journey and I know for me the best is yet to come.
Hugs,
Kathy

Hey Kathy...You big loser you! hehe....When you called me last night, I was soooo happy for you....even more so now that I have had time for it to sink in....Finally, my Kathy is going to be a loser too. What a wonderful journey it has been for me and I know it will be for you also. I am very excited to be able to say that I started out on this journey with you...
Hugs,
Betsy
Hey there my Sweet Sweet Betsy,
I'm glad it sunk in for you because I am still reeling in the excitement of it all. I'm still passing out the cigars so to speak.........telling everyone who knew of my trials during the past year. It's so exciting and I know the best is yet to come. I am going to enjoy the next few weeks as I prepare to take that train to Skinnyville. I've got lots to do before I go. I need to make sure everything is in order. I'm sure you felt that way too...but then I don't know anyone who endured all that you did after surgery. You are one amazingly beautiful woman and don't you ever forget it. I can't wait to see you again.
Lots of Love
Kathy.....still

Hey Keith,
Thank you so much for throwing me one heck of a jumping party. I am having a blast right now...absolutely glowing in the fact that this is going to finally happen for me. It's been a long haul as you well know but finally I got those words I desperately wanted to hear...............YOU'RE APPROVED!!!!!
I will be
until the day of surgery....might take me a few days after that before I am up to par but I'll be back real soon.
Looking forward to seeing at group meeting and I'm glad to hear you are feeling much better. And it's good to see the new picture of you. I was wondering when you were going to get rid of the other Keith.
You are looking G-R-E-A-T!!!!
Lots of Love
Kathy
