Topic: Prayer changes things!
I'm a firm beleiver that prayer changes things so much that i've just found out that I'm APPROVE for wls. My pre-op is schedule for 2/24 and my surgery date is 3/1 Yay, thank you Jesus was the first words that utter from my mouth as tears of joy start to fall down my face as i could barely hear the UHC rep speaking in the other end. Constitency is a proven principle that I often practice. For those of you who are waiting to be approve please, please don't give up. Keep at it until the Phat Lady sings and always remember if you are a beleiver that prayer changes things!

Topic: New One to the Florida Boards- Brevard county
Hello All-
My name is Lorie. I live in Melbourne and have finally started the journey to WLS.
Dr Marema is my doctor.  Flagler Hospital in St Augustine will be the place for surgery.
I am in the approval process with my insurance and am excited to be on the Loser side soon.

Does anyone live near me?  Is there a support group in Brevard County?

High hopes for all.  Be blessed

Lorie

hello everyone, i just wanted to introduce myself, my name is  Debby, and i going to be having bypass surgery in early march, i am in the process of doing all the pre op stuff, i go to my chardio next week and the phsy after that.
i would love to get to know anyone over here in brevard county or close by and we can be weight loss buddies. I am having my surgery with Dr. Marema over in st. Augestine, but will be going to orlando for all the other things.
i am in the process of gathering up protein shakes for the dreaded pre op liquid phase...so far i think i am going to go with the Jay Robb, no artifical sweenters added which is very important to me, i also have a carton of spiru-tein that i will also use up.
I would love to chat with others and perhaps excercise together to help make each other accountable, i have no children at home, my youngest is off in college in savana georgia, i have 3 grand kids, here in brevard county.

thanks and have a great day
debby

I live over on the Southside (JTB & 95) so I'm not too far from Arlington.  I'd love to get together and hang out and go walking!  I keep missing the monthly dinners!
