Today I received a call from my surgeon's office. I was quite surprised to hear from them as I thought they were calling to tell me of additional pre-surgery testing I would have to do. Well, because I've been in constant contact with Dr. Cunneen's office, all the staff know me and know how persistent I've been in trying to move things along as quickly as possible. This morning, I was given a surgery date!! CAN YOU BELIVE IT? Just last Wednesday I was told that it would be a while before I got a date because of an extra step that had to be taken to get authorization for my surgery work up testing. My, my, my, God is sooooo good to me. Over the holiday weekend He made it so that I was given a surgery date first thing this morning. I'm scheduled to have a LAP RNY on October 14, 2002. Although this is 3 months away I'm sure it will be here before I know it. And who knows, if an opening becomes available before Oct. 14 they'll let me know to see if I want the new date. I have a lot of prepartions to make in the meantime so until then, thanks for all the encouragement and continue to pray for me. To all of you who are thinking about having or who have had WLS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!
