Well I did it, I called the surgeon this morning and scheduled my initial visit with him. I go July 18th, I am soooo anxious. I wish it were tomorrow. I just want my new life to start asap.

Congrats on the first baby step.
I can understand your impatience, but this it the part you need to practice patience. You will be finding yourself needing to face the steps with patience and fortitude. It's never too early to start practicing.
(((((((HUGS))))))) May your journey go well.

 Amen to that doc what you sead is so true!
whizzersmom- the weeks will sometimes feel fast and sometimes feel slow as a snail with hemeriods but take this time to really read up and prepare yourself and get a really good support sistem because we all need that. wonce you go to that first appt. the ball will start rolling and before ya no it you will be there. I can't stress the support sistem though. I have spent a lot of my wiating time on this. I am a member of a support group the meets 2 times a month and I am on this form with some of the best people i have met so for yet (MsVickie your my sista). i have brought every family member and close friend to at least one of my support group meetings and would you belave this they love it they wanna keep going. so remember we are all here for you when ever ya need us were just a key stroke away

So yes its worth taking that first step and calling the surgeon. Good luck in July at your appoitment.

Hi ya Whizzers MOM. Im glad you made that appoitment. Its the first step to taking care of yourself. I agree with Doc and Ashely when they say patience is the key. Its a good thing your starting to do for yourself but you will need patience in getting everything together and satisifyting the insurance to approve it. You can do this. Im gonna have mine in September and I just cant wait. GOOD FOR YOU !!!!!!
Ms Ashely thankies honey for all the good words you say about me. I cherish each one of them. I feel the same for you girly !! The snail and the hemmorids thing LOL !!!!!! We gotta keep smiling and laughing. And you do your part to keep us going. Good to see your Post again girly ! Oh and good luck and Friday with ya NUT !

Thanks Ms Vickie for the positive words. I am really trying to be patient.... however PATIENTS is definitely not one of my virtues. LOL I always want everything yesterday. I do understand though it is a process in the making just like the weight loss will be. I didn't put on the weight over night and it won't come off over night. I have read a lot of inspiring posts from you and you seem like a wonderful lady. Thanks again Whizzersmom aka (Patti)

Congradulations! I am new at this also. I was kinda nervous about the whole thing, but I had surgery about a month and half ago and am thrilled with the results so far. I had lost some wieght before the surgery, but I feel one hundred percent better now. Can't wait for the rest of it to be gone,,,,I will be fantastic by then!! My energy level has picked up so much, I can't believe it. I don't think you will ever regret your decision.
