A bit of good news...

Well, as we all know I have been waiting for a date, driving everyone at the surgeons office crazy, and all that jazz! I got an e-mail today in response to one I e-mailed them yesterday, and I am due to be scheduled as soon as they start the scheduling for 2010. Yayyyyyy!!!!
Wooooooooooo Hooooooooooooo... At least now I have an idea of how much longer I have to stock up on stuff I am going to need, and get some more protein powder in my cubby hole that I have for my supplies and special groceries.
I am glad at least I know I have til after the first of the year, now I can make a weight loss resolution for 2010, and stick to it.
This also gives me time to save the money I am going to have to have to buy my shakes with for my pre-op diet. They are going to cost 130 dollars, and I can put up some gas money too for the 2 hour trip to Little Rock to have it done.
All I want for Christmas is a date! lmao

Congrats almost getting a date!  It will be here before you know it!

Congratulations!  I bet you are seeing that proverbial light at the end of a very long tunnel, yes??  I am soooooo excited for you!  Sending you cyber hugs!!!  

So happy for you Linda.  Nice to be able to plan and save.  Hoping for a date asap in 2010.  You need your Christmas gift of a date.  Hugs, Kathy

That's great news!  I am hoping that I too will have that as a Christmas gift.  It's really the only thing on my list.   My PCP faxed my 6th (and hopefully last) visit to the surgeon's office today.  I hope they get that appeal sent tomorrow.  As soon as I hear that the appeal has been mailed,  I'll be getting very anxious to hear something.  I'm sooooo worried that it will be denied again, but trying to keep my hopes up for that new year's resolution that I will stick to for the first time in my life.

There are a lot of Haters out in the world, don't let them get to you!!

There are more sweet, kind and nice people out there too. AND there are more of them!!

Smile and keep smiling!!!

Congrats to you Linda.. it is getting closer all the time. (I have some protein to send you, but it isn't a whole lot I am afraid.)  Time will go by faster than you think.

Moparmemaw you keep up the fight. never give up or give in, as thats what they are hoping for. Keeping your success with winning this appeal in my prayers.

linda, congrats on the soon to be date.  also i noticed where you have lost some weight,, that is great!!!!!  you have really hung in there and i am proud of you.  pm me your address and i will send you some protein powder. hugs, vick

Good attitude!! I hope THEY don't make me wait too long!! Looks like I will not be getting a "date" until after the first of 2010. But that's OK. Like you said gives me more time to get my foods and other stuff together; like for instance a really nice gown and robe for the hospital and after at home (maybe 2?) P

Congrat's and hopefull your date will be just after the new year! I'm excited for you, just a couple months away!
