Jolinda, first, I wanted to tell you thanks for the posting on my page. I need as much encouragement and support as I can get. I have to hide from everyone but husband and brother. This site is my outlet and support. People like you make me feel better about myself and my choice. Second, I read your profile, and TOTALLY understand how you feel. I went to my PCP for a physical and darn if the scale was not off by 23 pounds. I thought I was going to faint. Tammy, my FAVORITE nurse of all times, told me that the clinic needs to have the scale fixed. She has always known how to make me feel better. But, with the Lord's support, I am going to the straight and narrow and will be standing lighter and healthier.

Hi Jolinda, Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. I really needed to hear them. I only have 6 days to go before my life changes and I'm scared and excited at the same time. I know God is watching over me and I pray that you will get approved soon. My advice is to stay focused and keep on the insurance company. My PCP wasn't a big fan of WLS either, but she did help me by writing a letter and even called me once I got approved to wish me luck. Keep the faith. Take Care, Jennifer

Jolinda, I hope you get your approval and date, and your tears turn into joy soon! As you take your journey to the inner, and thinner you, remember: The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I am the LORD, you God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 Don't tell GOD how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your GOD is! Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 I'm hoping you have a successful surgery, a rapid recovery, and much success in your weight loss journey. Des's date of surgery 3/13/2002 Pre-op weight =316#'s, current weight on 4/08/2003 = 175#'s , -141#'s
