Topic: Cheryl and I set a date. July 31st Cruise to Alaska.
Greetings,

To all of you who were so loving to us when we posted our proposal I thought it only fitting that we should follow-up with our wedding day plans.

We plan to be married aboard the Princess Cruise to Alaska. July 31st. The date has special meaning to us both as that is Cheryl's Birthday and my 3 year Anniversary of my RNY surgery. How fitting for us to dedicate our lives to each other on such a special day.

A few persons have asked us about registry information etc. In accordance with the MTOS we will not post our registry informaiton on the boards however, if you wish we will be glad to answer you in email.

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day.

P.S. Thank you Cheryl for saying yes! I wasn't nervous...[NOT]

Sincerely,

Bo McCoy

P.S.S. Should we serve Cheesecake at our reception? [That was for anyone who has ever been to an event!]

Topic: PS in NM, AZ or CO and Tricare
A couple of wonderful people have offered to help me find a PS that takes Tricare in my area. I need a breast lift and a tummy tuck. I was saving the help offers. But, last week I had to reformat my computer and lost the saved info. My preference is to have it done here in NM. But, today I called the only PS that Tricare told me accepted Tricare-Jean Shimanek- and was told she wasn't taking new patients until June. I lose Tricare in Aug. So, I don't think this will work out since after the first appointment, we would still have to apply for approval, have the surgeries, and do the follow before mid August. So, I am back here begging for help. If you can suggest someone with a good rep in NM, AZ or CO, then please do. Thank you, Hat

Topic: RE: Anyone from Santa Fe?
Hi Kim; I am the opposite. I am from NM and moved to AZ. Santa Fe is a smaller town then Phoenix. They are known for there market places and art. Santa Fe is about 50+ miles North of Albuquerque. They do have snow in the winter and med hot summers. Shortage of water seems to haunt them also. There are many good schools and the real estate market it very high. It is considered a tourism town so the prices reflect that. They do have some nice SW style homes. They do have most comforts of a big city. Good luck with your future move. Cynthia

Topic: RE: I'm approved
Dwight; Congratulations on getting your approval! I live in AZ but my family is in Alb. I had my surgery here in AZ. I had the RNY in Nov. 04. Can I ask you where and who will be doing your surgery? I am trying to help my sister in her journey to have the surgery. Congrats and good luck, Cynthia

Topic: Hello all
I haven't been on the NM boards in a while. Seems like after surgery life just gets so busier. I have much to be thankful for; our WLS support group in Albuquerque is on the grow. We are able to help many people through our support group. I am down from 346lbs to 220lbs, that's 126 lbs lost since 25 October 2004. My wife and children love me, and I am very thankful for that. And so far every day I have woke up and am in very good health. Any day we can wake up to a new day is something to be thankful for. God Bless you all.

Topic: I'm approved
Jesus loves me yes I know!!!! I'm approved and have a new surgery date, May 9, 2005. The insurance company informed my doctor's office that I was approved for the surgery December 1, 2004. Now get this. I received a second denial letter December 27, 2004. The insurance company said a clerical error was the reason I received the wrong letter. I'm not made because if it meant to be it will be. I know my BAF family prayed for me and I would like to say thanks and God bless you all. Please don't stop praying! Dwight Smith
