Hi Lori,

My stats are weight 216.5 lbs. 5 feet tall, BMI 42. I guess my one of

my fear's is developing a leak after surgery and not surviving it, but on the

other hand I have just as big a fear of what will happen if I don't have the

surgery with my family history. I watched my father suffer thru 2 heart

attacks and a quadruple heart bypass and my mother have to go thru a

mastectomy because of breast cancer and BELIEVE me I do not want to have to

go thru any of that if I can help prevent it.

I emailed my patient info last Tues. a week ago and am now waiting to

see about Ins. I have already seen my PCP and he has agreed to support if I

agree to some additional tests, I said OK, am just waiting to see what Ins.

says before I do them. I have written my patient letter, I am working on my

patient contacts now (thank you to all of you that have helped me out with

that) My sister is going to write my family support letter (she is having the

MGB done this Friday, May 12th) so I'm slowly working on all of it just

taking it a day at a time and so thoroughly enjoying myself being a member of

this site!!!!!

A Little Scared, but wanting

No Genz I haven't heard a peep, I thought I would give them another week and

if I still haven't heard I'll either email or call Dr. R's office.
