Pay offs of working hard towards getting goals accomplished...

GROWL.  I would literally be beating my head against a wall and shouting obscenties. . (come on.. that was cute! *snicker*)

Anyways.. doesn't it just frustrate you.. its like the lose stuff intentionally and the more anal we are about making sure it doesn't happen it still does! I know talk about pessimism.. but it does get old.

Hang in there, hopefully it gets there with no issues and they sign it and you are approved soon.  Fingers crossed for u!

Kudos to you for being so persistent! perseverence & diligence definitely pay off...

thanks, it absolutely has for me!

That's great news Melissa, I'm so happy for you!! Thanks for sharing it with us. Debi

Thanks for letting me share!!! I wondered if it was gonna be a weird post but I was crying happy tears when I wrote it!!! :-)  Thanks for understsanding my joy Debi!

Melissa.. You go girl.... You are such an inspiration... :) Hugs,

Aw thanks sweetie, you are so sweet to compliment that way! I appreciate that, have a great day!

Melissa,

Wow! What an inspiring post. It's kind of like what your parents tell you growing up...when you work hard for it...you will value it more. I'm sure you have some serious value in regards to your health and new life.

I get so fustrated when I hear someone say...wls is the "easy" way out. AGH!!! They have NO CLUE!!!!

Congrats on your success!!!! You look great!!!

Thanks so much girlie... I appreciate it.  No, far from the "easy way out" that is for sure... they really do have no clue. I had 1/2 cup of NAS ice cream last night and prayed for my life to be taken b/c of the pain and nausea.  I was so happy once it is over... yeah, thats the easy way out.  NOT.
