Yay!! I have a date!!

I have a date!! And not with a tall handsome stranger (my husband might object), but with a surgeon.  I never thought that would make me so happy.  August 29th.  I've been trying to definitely for-sure finalize this date for a couple of weeks,but it didn't happen until I jumped up and down, called his nurse coordinator, and threatened to go to a different doctor.  I really want this surgery and would do it tomorrow if I could, but I have the kind of job where I really have to coordinate it with a lot of other people.  So I'm psyched!

Congrats, I just got my date Aug 11 (other than the insurance approval taking almost 6 weeks, finally I called and they told me I was approved, they told me the doctor office may have not even known yet....I was nervie calling the insurance myslef but oh well, but I have been waiting weeks, my husband lost his job and I needed some good news, Thanks goodness I was approved becuase if I had anymore bad news I was going cry) So I know how the waiting game feels.

Yeah, funny people who are heavy don't have mirrors, don't use words like "morbidly obese" and are embarrassed by it...almost like if we don't mention it people won't notice.  Maybe we won't be heavy for long :)

We have the same date. It took my insurance 4 weeks, they told me over the phone. But I still haven't recieved the actual letter. I am soooo excited!! Congrats to you too!!

Congrats!  Let's hold each other's hand (virtually) and say a prayer for each other.  Proudtabaloser is the same date too.

LOL,  that's a good one. A date with a stranger. I'll have to remember that one. Yes, isn't it something what we have to go though, but you did it and now you're here. GRATS. Best wishes to you.

Monica from OH
Date set: August 12th
