Hi, my name is Jay, I am Kasi's husband, I dont have an account here so she is gonna post this for me. first, let me explain some things, when i get going on the puter i dont use the shift key or any punctuation, so i apologize in advance for my writting style - smiles - ok , i read your journal and i feel for you, i really do, i know how difficult it is to follow the ups and downs of trying to get approval and jumping through all the hoops to get the surgery. my wife is a goddess and i love her dearly but she has a few aversions that make it hard for her to do a lot of things on her own, like making the phone calls and setting up the appointments. so when it comes to the ups and downs, i have been living them first hand for over a year now, and we finally have a date and things appear to be leveling out. i know that things have been VERY difficult for you and this roller coaster is not a fun ride at all but hang on please hang on you are almost there, i can feel and happy resolution in sight for you. things are gonna be so wonderfull a year from now, even six months from now :) you have a great life to look forward to. i know this all sounds goofy and lame from a stranger. fair enough. but i do want to say this, i have never been motivated enough to say anything to anyone online about their surgery, i support everyone and i am happy for all of kasis friends here on the forum , but i always felt that kasi did a WONDERFUL job supporting them with out some random husband that "wouldnt understand" contributing. but for some reason, i had good feelings about your surgery and about your situation, i just felt really compelled to write to you. it may not be worth much, but just so you know, i for one, am very excited about the surgery you WILL have very soon ;) hugs and take care if you wanna chat or somthin you can email me jay [email protected] www.xanga.com/tat2jay

Sally....sorry to hear about your latest disappointment, but happy to hear that you got your power turned back on. It's awful being without heat etc. Keep your chin up and keep fighting for your surgery. I believe that you wil be successful in getting a new surgery date. Keep fighting. Please don't ever give up. I have had many a tearful New Year's Eve too, and I know how it feels to look back over the past year with regret...then look ahead to nothing but bleakness and despair. But keep fighting...don't give up. You have family and friends who love you, and a family of AMOS friends who care deeply about you. We want you to keep fighting, and not give up. God Bless you Sally.

Sally, I hate that you are having to go through this awful roller-coaster ride. But WE (all of your friends at AMOS and YOU) are going to keep a positive outlook and we know that you will get approved through your new insurance very soon. You have kept excellent records of all of your pre-op tests, approvals, co-morbidities, etc. and that will help you with your approval, I'm sure. 2003 is going to be THE YEAR for you!! Please hang in there and know that we all love you very much.

Sally,, Like you I had a surgery date scheduled, only to be cancelled because my white blood cell count was to high, so my surgeon rescheduled, then my next surgery date was cancelled for the same reason. It was rough, going through all the emotions only to have it cancelled, then it happens all over again. I finally had my surgery, open RNY 11/14/02. Hang in there Sally, if the surgery is meant to happen it will. If you ever want to talk dont hesitate to email me. Best wishes to you.

Sally~ PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP! You are such a strong woman. Like you I do not understand what test the Lord is putting you through but please hang in there. Keep fighting. Your journey and your strength through all the hardships are an inspiration to me. Keep fighting Sally. I KNOW you can do it! There were many times I wanted to give up because without surgery my weight was killing me anyway. We might not know why the Lord puts us through what He does but He DOES have a plan for you! Please believe that He is still with you and HE will NOT give up on you and neither will I. I cried both times your surgery was cancelled. I ache with you and for you. You have been in my prayers since I joined AMOS and now even more so. I wish I lived closer so I could give you a real hug but this will have to do. We love you Sally and pray for you every day. Your day WILL come! Please know that I am here if you need anything...anything at all. God bless you Sally. Sending you a COMFORTING HUG!

Sally, I am so sorry to hear that there wasn't enough time to get the surgery approved today. I want you to know what an inspiration I find you. Your updates are the first that I look for. I understand your frustration, its been a long journey, but PLEASE do NOT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!!! You are worth it! I know that God has a plan and pray that you will find your surgery scheduled sooner than you think. Even if you have to wait until June, we'll be there with you all along your path. Best wishes and take care from the North Pole.

Sally, I am so sorry that you were not able to get your surgery date. Please don't give up hope. Things happen for a reason and you will get your date. Be strong and think positve. I know that surgery will happen for you.

Martha K. 21 years, 12 months ago

Sally, I am so sorry you did not get your approval for the date you had planned. Please do not give up hope. I can imagine how disappointed you are, but I do truly believe that things work out as they are supposed to. I know those words may not sound very comforting right now, but things will work out. Think of the setback as an end to 2002 and not the beginning of 2003. Tomorrow is a whole new start. You have done all the prep work and have all your papers in order, something will open up for you. Hang in there - we are all here to support you.

Sally You are NOT going to die trying.. I won't have it, the world needs you. I had just finished making my post tonight, clicked back to the MB and read your post. In my post, my second resolution is to have this darn WLS this year... I had typed or die trying behind it, but decided to delete those words before I posted. And here you are voicing them. Neither of us can go, I do not believe either of our numbers are up yet. We have things you and I need to do in this lifetime before we go home to the Lord. Sally your always in my prayers, but I'm boosting them up so that they might reschedule you soon so that the testing does not have to be done again. *reaching across state lines here and hugging you tight* ((((((((((((((Sally))))))))))))) I know it's hard to have positive thoughts when we are miserable, but do try. You ARE loved.
