Pre-Op Oregon Gal Looking For Pen Pal

Hello! I am getting ready to head in to my last psych appt this week and am a little nervous about it. I would love to hear from anyone who is at any stage of their progress. Does anyone have any helpful hints on what happends next etc..?? I just pray that it all turns out the right way. Hope to hear from ya soon. Take Care! ~Paulett

Hi Paulette, I am waiting for my surgery date, 7/27/04, so I am still pre-op. Is that okay? I would like to pal up with you. Just email me. Tracye

Hi Tracye!!! Of course it is okay if you are Pre-OP!! I am so excited for YOU! I need someone to talk to as you do. Can I ask who your surgeon is? Are you going through Doctor Patterson's office, Good Sam? Tomorrow I have my last psych appt, then I should be able to move fwd with scheduling a date w/doc Patterson. I sure hope my new insurance company will help cover it. I just changed jobs, my insurance before would not cover it. I am praying that I can make it through this!! I went into your web-page, that is very nice! I had thought about doing that too, I am just not that creative. Have to go for now, write when you can and THANKS for being my pal. Take Care ~Paulett

Hey Paulett, Dr. Deveney at OHSU is going to do the Laparasopic Gastric Bypass on me. I had gone to Dr. Patterson's Orientation last year at Emmanuel Hospital, but the hospital would not have been covered by my insurance so I went with OHSU. How did your psych appt go? You will make it though this. I called OHSU last August (2003) in order to get an appt for orientation for March 2004 And once I had oriention everything moved quickly. So I pray that your date will be soon on it's way!! Terri here on AMOS did it for me an I am pleased with it. You can go to the very bottom of my profile and click to have someone do your page too. I look forward to hering from you and have a great afternoon & evening Tracye
