Thanks to Vi Noneofyourbusiness,Dame Tooter, Angela Goode, La K, Pat Bell, Jessica Villafana-Opyd,Just Jo, Becky Dombrosky, Tommie Thompson, Debra French, Beth M., Debbie Lisk, Margo and many others *****sponded through other MB's (you know who you are *hugs*)*****sponded to my post yesterday http://obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/messageboard/postdetail/776487.html?vc=0. I feel more in control today, I have mailed my Congresswoman, State Represenative, Senator and Governor of my state. I feel if I ask for their help, the big wigs of the state I might just get some attention. But being it's almost voting time, hopefully they are not too busy to still take care of one of the "people" who are asking for help at this time. I needed your shoulders and y'all provided them.. Thank you all so much. prayers and hugs, p/s - got no chips, son fell asleep and I didn't trust myself to go to the store.

Vickie.... We all are in this together. Each one of us have our reasons as to why we want and need the surgery. It is terrible that we have to fight so hard to get approvals and the waiting period is so long. Alot of things can happen in between all that waiting. Just know that I am here if you ever need someone to talk to. I am still in the first stages. I have sent my apps in to OSU. I have 6 months of a diet/exercise program that is supervised ahead of me. Then I have to wait for approval from the Dr and the insurance company. So you hang in there ..... Hugs Julie

Vickie, That's what we are all here for. We want to support each other when a shoulder is needed. And remember you are in my prayers. Becky D.

You are much welcome Vickie. It is a shame what we have to go thru to get approve. I didn't have much trouble to get my approval. At first I thought it wasn't going to happen, but anyway like you said with the elections you are bound to get help. Good Luck and have a good day today and a better one tomorrow. Debra

Vickie, You are in our prayers. You have waited long enough for a date my friend. Love, Sandy
