That's approximately how much longer I have to wait until my turn in the or. I'm as ready as I can be..I have my bag packed, lists made out, plans made for my pet's care. I have jello and other goodies ready in the fridge, so all I have to do is a little more waiting. My youngest d called me this morning and asked if I was sure I wanted to go through with this. HUH? After all I said and done to get right to this point only to turn back is unimagineable! Sure I'm still scared. But more scared not to give myself a chance. Now if only the clock would go a little faster!!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

So you're gonna spend tomorrow in the car waiting for it to take you there?

After all you've been through to get this far, I'm kinda surprised you aren't already in the waiting room!!

Just remember to breathe between now and then. Superwoman couldn't even hold her breath that long! You'll do just fine. You're country strong, hard to break ...

Nah, I thought of camping out in the waiting room, but that type activity is frowned upon in that particular medical establishment. However, on Tuesday I will probably run down the hallway, kick my shoes off, jump on the or table and say "Let's go; I ain't got all day!!

Hang in there CS, it'll be here in no time! You will probably be out of surgery before I even get in with our 3 hour time difference!

Add me to that group, CS. You will be in my prayers. Just jump in with both feet.."Ready? Set? GO!!!"
I still remember walking into the hospital to check in 6 a.m. saying "HI, I am here!" The receptionist chuckled and asked for my name and said "Ok, Go ON!!! Back."
As soon as I went "back" someone else called my name and took some info, then someone else got me..there was no waiting. Poof, I was in a gown chatting with my doc... some nice nurse came up to me saying "My friend had RNY> In a few months from now you will feel so much better and get all new clothes.. Congrats!!" It made me feel good... so I Pass that a long to you. (DOn't talk to your unsupportive family members til you get home.For now, you have us.!)
