Cheryl -- Do Not Despair!!! Dr.Marshall's office is getting to be quite busy but they are still doing great at scheduling people. I had my initial consultation on May 2nd, got my Medicaid approval letter 2 to 3 weeks later and am now scheduled for surgery with Dr.Marshall next Wednesday, July 3rd!!! I go to see him tomorrow for the pre-surgical appointment. I was able to have all my pre-op testing done this past Monday at my local hospital. We are very fortunate not to have to wait months or even years like some people! Good luck and hang in there -- Anna![](/static/images/default_avatar.gif)

Cheryl, I am so happy that you got approved. It is such a long wait I know. I got my date around June 10 and got the surgery date of Aug 12. The wait is a bummer BUT at least we have the peace in knowing that our turn is coming...and it is coming soon. There are several people on here that are scheduled for Oct, Nov, Dec and spring of 2003... now you have time to buy several months supply of out protein and vits and all the other stuff we future post-ops need. Good luck and celebrate your good news!![](/static/images/default_avatar.gif)

Hi all. Just a little under a week till initial consult and I am trying to get all my ducks in a row. I have dr. records being sent up the the surgeon by the truckloads, working on documenting weight loss efforts through the years, writing down surgeries and medications for the surgeon....just got an info pack from OSF from Peoria, the other surgeons I am considering. I will check it all out while my son practices baseball tonight lol. Also working on drinking lots of water and cutting out soda to be ready. I'm ready to move forward. Appreciate your prayers. Looking for an angel in the central Illinois area.![](/static/images/default_avatar.gif)
