    Friday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

My profile was a little stale so I decided to do the whole thing over again.  I havnt updated in a year so theres a bit to catch up on.  In april 2007 I requested that my pcp Dr. Beauchamp write me a referal to have wls but he refused at the time because he wanted to run tests to make sure my thyroid is normal and that I dont hav pcos.  I had the test done but i waited on mu follow-up appointment becaue I went to florida to visit with family for a few monthes.  When I returned i imediately made an appointment to see beauchamp.  All the tests came bak normal so he put in the refurral.  I met my soon-to-be surgeion Dr warnock for an initial consult on Oct. 9.  He seems like a good doctor, hes been doing wls for 25 years and his fatalities are.01% but he only does open rny.  Im realy concerned about the pain during recovery but after consitering this the pros out-weight the cons...I know Im meant to have this surgery and I've wanted it for myself for a long time.  So I said open is fine with me...I learned of my approval on Friday Oct 29.  I set my surgery date for Nov 30, 2007 Yayyy!!!   Im still in disbeleif and I probably wont be able to grasp it until im at the hospital.  It seems too easy to be real...after hearing all the horror stories and stress, I was not expecting this...  I start my liquid protien diet on Nov 20...Im even evcited about that too...
