I haven't posted to you before because I am preop/wannabe and do

not know the answer to your insurance questions. I am sure I will be

fighting with my company as well though! I do think it is good to post the

questions though cause some people may have the same company and be able to

help...but I wouldn't take it personally that no one answers..they probably

just don't know the answer! I can tell you though in my 4 months on this

list I have learned a great deal and am getting braver every day and know

this will be a good thing for me. I am working on my packet!

take care and welcome aboard!

Hey !

First, let me say I am sooo sorry for your loss... saying good bye is

important for closure, but always remember that she's probably looking down

on you right now and smiling..close your eyes and tell her all you would

have if you were at the funeral, I am sure she will still hear you :0)

here's a hug to keep you strong *hug*

Second, I'm glad you decided to stay, and continue to post. Everyone on

this list is needed and loved.

Third, I wish you luck on your decision and hope your journey for approval

is a swift one. I am on my way, picked up my med records, labs and EKG

today along with my pics...ewww...talk about a slap in the face when I see

how 'big' I really am. I dont think I really realized just how large I am,

til I saw myself standing there..just ...blah..well next year they will make

good " before " pics.

I will be sending the packet out Fed Ex tomorrow...hopefully I will get a

date by Monday the 31st.

Well again i'm glad you are staying..and so sorry for your loss...keep your

chin up and hopefully you will not be far behind my surgery (if that's the

route you chose that is..*S*)
