yippee not long now is it???? I know that Mona is your angel but will she call me to let me know that you are out of surgery? so i can post it? Jan

Sheila, can I ask how long was it from your first visit with Dr. H to your surgery date?  I have my first appt. with him on Oct. 17th and was just wondering how long after that will I have to wait before I get surgery?  Just courious!   Congrats on your surgery date I can only imagine how excited you must be.    Good Luck on your journey..... Bev~

bev,   my appt with Dr H was Aug 29th and he had told me it usually takes 2 weeks or less for insurance to approve and its been 3 weeks for me but the lady was out all last week for vacation,,so i'd say 2 months from appt. if it goes like mine....im in SHOCK! i mean i knew it would prob happen but the date makes it even more REAL u know.....you got every thing  already done for be4 ur appt?

Jan

u are my angel i already and i need ur nmbr so either Mona or Rach can call u love ya

YEA!!!!!!!         It will be here before you know it. I will never forget when I got my date! It makes everything come alive. Get ready for the ride of your life and to literally watch yourself melt right before your eyes!!!

 Barbara,   thanks so much!!!  why is it there always has to be some one to rain on ur parade? i was and am still happy but guess i will have to make a tough choice of breaking away from my daughter........i emailed her to tell her i got my surgery date and instead of being happy for me she has to start preaching me ...are u sure u wanna do this? this will be 10 times harder than any diet u have ever did and what r u gonna do about loose skin and on and on...made me very sad but she is a tiny girl weighs 93 lbs so doesnt have the weight issue problem...we have never been close but it always has to be about her!!!! and now i have to make it be about ME..so what do i do? ignore her and push her out for now? since she cant support me? this really hurts me.. my  son and  future daughter n law r happy for me cos they know this is what i want.... i know its not gonna be a easy road but it has to be easier than the road im on now,  Jan.........what i meant to say.is i already asked u to be my angel and i would appreciate it if u still will be my angel and send me ur nmbr so we can call after surgery and let u post on OH to all my new friends and 2nd family.. .tks for all ur support and help in last few months, and i know im gonna need u all alot in the next couple months......have a GREAT evening

You bet you girl. I already sent  you my phone number by private message. Honey there is always people , sad that it is that way, that want to rain on your parade.  My oldest daughter was and is the same way. She keeps saying that i may gain it all back and then i will have had this surgery for nothing.  I just put it where it needs to be with all the other nay sayers and forget it. Take the support people you do have and build from there.

I really am happy for you to be on this ride with you. Hang on.....Oh i dont know if i have ever said or not but congradulations on your recent marriage. Hope that it is a long and happy one. Jan

Shelia, CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!!!!!!! I am soooo happy for you......time will fly by. As for your daughter I am so sorry that you had that experiance, it makes it hard and unnerving when those you need the most just dont understand. I think as a daughter myself she may just be scared of the unknown and what if....when my mom had hip replacement i went through the same emotions, but when i looked at it like it is going to change the quality of her life and give her more mobility, better helath, and an over all better quality of life, then I was able to understand, respect and support the "S word....surgery". I think she needs to understand that this surgery will change your life, both the physical and emotional aspect, therefore improving the total quality of your life :) I hope she somes around but if not, then you put it out there to her, but it will be her choice........not because you didnt want her to be a part of it all :)

Sheila, Congratulations on your date and on your marriage.  I am so happy for you.  You are on the way to becoming a new healthier person.  Hang on!!! Hugs, Lana

CONGRATS!!!!!! How exciting.......i hope all goes well and I am so ecited for you!!!!  I am going to Dr H too.......my initial appointment is not until Dec....
