Re: Chris is Cigna approved!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie!

I must have missed (or deleted) your original message saying your daughter

was approved, tell her I said GOOD LUCK! Anyway, when are you hoping to

schedule her surgery? I am HOPING to schedule mine for mid-August and would

love to be there the same time your daughter is. I am only 23 and I would

love to meet her, as I was in her same situation as a teenager. My mom

spent lots of money trying to find a way for me to lose weight. She was

very helpful, but nothing worked. I only wish the MGB had been around

then.....don't we all. I am so happy for you and Chris

Debbie,

That is wonderful!! Does know how lucky she is to have a mom

who fights for her like you did? I'm happy that she doesn't have to

go through her life like so many of us have--with the pain of being

unlike everyone else.

We will, of course, need to see photos of her at her senior prom!

My prayers are with you and Chris.

XXXOOO

Debbie,

I'm so happy for Chris. I know how it feels to be young and obese. I truly

believe this will be the beginning of a new life for her. Mine will begin

on August 2. I will be thinking of Chris.
