Hang in there girl! Just checking in on you. I see that Voc Rehab here in MS is paying for the surgery pretty routinely. Hoping you find a way to have it VERY soon!

Often think of you. Hoping this will be the last attempt you will have to make at getting that healthier life. It's so wonderful to be losing & just wish you were here also. Good luck & happy holidays!

So glad to hear things are coming together for you. You offered to help me out when I couldn't see any way possible to get this done. I'm now 5 days post-op & all is well. May God lead you thru this as uneventfully as he has me!

Hang in there! It is sooo worth the wait. There is a saying on the message board of a church near my home that I pass every day. It was posted the day I got my date (which I thought was too long to wait) and was still up the day I came home from having surgery (8/1 surgery 8/6 homecoming). It reads: "Patience is trusting in God's timing." I think that says it all. I will keep you in my prayers. Your day is coming.

Hi Stephanie: I am also waiting for surgery. I have a tentative date of August 21, 2002, for lap rny. I still do not have insurance approval yet. Good luck to you. Do you have a date yet? Grace [email protected]

Please send your thoughts in Stephanie's direction. She tried to help me in the beginning, even though I was a complete stranger. Her page could use some encouraging words & if they mean as much to her as they have to me, she'll greatly appreciate them. Thanks to you all!

Hang in there Stephanie. We've been down a long road & still havent made it to the end. So glad to hear things are working out. My date is Aug 20th & thought it would never come. Just to let you know, once I got ins. approval, time has FLOWN! So it does get better. Hope to see you on the other side soon!!
