I WAS APPROVED!

I just wanted to share....I was approved into the GHC WLS program. A long wait is ahead of me but I got lots to do before then anyway. Anyhoo - had to SHARE!!! Take care, Sandy

Congratulations! Welcome to the group! Your approval should say to call Harriett to set up a 30 minute interview. I wrote a lot of info in response to Carol on the posting just below yours. I'll copy and paste it below. Hope it helps. Mari ----------------------------------------------------------- Hi Carol, It was good to see you at the Tacoma meeting. The Silver Cloud is where Lori stayed before the orientation. My surgery arrival time was 8:30 and it only took 40 min. to get there from Kent. Your phone appt. with Harriet is coming up soon, I believe, and she will answer a lot of your questions. Write down a list of questions for her so you won't forget to ask...that's what I did. After I talked with her, she sent me a booklet with a LOT of info about the surgery and the GHC program. It also has a map of how to get to the Redmond GHC where you will have the surgery. She also sent me a list of tests to get done, such as blood/urine tests, EKG, abdominal (gallbladder) ultrasound, chest x-ray, a psych. form to be filled out and returned, and a pulmonologist for my asthma and sleep apnea evaluation. Based on your history, you may have to do other tests. ------------------------------------------------------------------ After all this, you wait, wait, wait! Mari
