Question:
I need an angel !!!

I had my first consultation with the surgeon today and I am really nervous about waiting for a reply from my insurance since I have heard they are hard to work with. I also have to complete a 12 week fitness and healthy living program before they will approve me for the surgery. I wanted to know if anyone wanted to be my angel . .maybe someone around my age and weight but I will take all the help I can get. THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!!!    — Christin H.

I was reading some of you profile and had to respond to your question. I think you'll have a lot of angels to choose from. All in all it's up to you on who you choose. To let you know who I am I had my surgery on 6/26/02 Open RNY. I had no complication from it at all. I'm 29 years and started out at 283lbs and I'm 211lbs now. I live in Winter Haven, Florida. I read about you car accident, sorry to heard that happened. I too was hit head on by a drunk driver back in 1994. I almost died from it. My left leg was broken in several areas including my foot. Which gives me problem today. My tailbone was broken, and my pancreas was slightly damage and many broken ribs! I did have my seat belt on which saved me from major head injuries. I had internal bleeding that almost did me in. The ironic part of this whole thing, is the guy that hit me died in another DUI caused by him 6 months later. This all happened in Clearwater, FL. I would love to be your angel but if you do decide on another maybe someone closer to you, I can still give you support. E-mail me anytime if you just want to chat in general or if you have questions on before and after surgery ([email protected]). Good luck to you! :-) I hope all goes well for you on the approval, to me it's like getting approved for credit, it only takes a little longer.

AMOS MODERATOR HERE PLEASE NOTE!<P> For future needs please post requests for angels on the message board. The Q&A was created for long term questions and reference. But angel requests are by nature very short term. Thanks for everyones cooperation and have a great day.
