Hello Missouri I have got something to say ....

After 7 months of hard work and the insurance "needing just one more thing!" I have been approved and I got my date!!!  My husband and I will be on the operating table under Dr. Hornbostle's care on April 14th!!!  Now the only obstical is getting through his 2 week liquid diet! 

congradulations to you and to your husband......Dr. H. is the best and you all will do great. The diet wont be too bad if you remember my saying of   Keep your eye on the prize.  just remmeber what all you have had to do to get here so it wont be that hard or that long. Jan

Hey Guys, Congrats!!!! So cool that the two of you are making your journey together!  As Jan said the 2 week liquid diets not really all that bad. And as I have mentioned to others....Don't wait till the last second to work on it. You can start working on it ahead of time and work you way into it and it will be eaiser and even help you loose a little weight before surgery....I had to do mine for 3 months before surgery because I had to loose at least 50lbs. I lost more than 50 and had a great head start on it and was already prepared for the finaly two weeks of absolute liquids. Keep us posted... Best wishes....Luv & Hugs..Tammy!ammy

Congrats.. I had Dr. H too, and he is great, it will be here before you know it....vesta
