Looking a penpal/email pal in IL

getting the paperwork started for my surgery. None scheduled yet but have some things that I need to do while awaiting the insurance approval and the surgery date. Just need some encouragement for ME..my husband and I are going to go through it together so that we're physcially here for the other..but online support for me would be appreciated.

You can email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

Thanks!
Denise

Best of luck to you and your hubby on your surgery. I had mine about nine weeks ago and would not change anything. Where in IL are you? Have a wonderful weekend

we are in the Alton, IL area. We have completed everything but the psychological eval...and that seems to be a sticking point. We don't have the money for both of us to complete that...*sigh*..as soon as the budget opens up, we'll get that done and then we'll be able to schedule the surgeon visit and then it's sit back and wait for the insurance company to come through. I'm hoping that everything falls into place after we jump this last hurdle. Is there anything that you can tell me that would help us prepare? We've been looking at protein drinks/shakes and vitamins...and have gotten some samples from different places..haven't really tried them yet because when we went to the dietary class, the dietician told us not to go on a liquid diet until we've talked to the surgeon.
