I was at first very confused with what everyone was talking about. Just keep reading the post and you will soon know we are your best friends and we are all in this together. For the 1st time since I was a kid I am able to " tell " how much I weigh and feel comfortable about it. Do as Flo says, download the manual and read it... then after you read it read it again. Then about a week later read it for a 3rd time. It will take this long before you really " get it " . Then if you are ready, you can proceed toward approval with Dr. Rutledge and you insurance company. This is what I did starting in September and in less than 2 weeks I will be " dancing " (having the MGB) with Dr. Rutledge! Best of luck to you both. I look forward to getting to know you over the next months. Plz post frequently!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 Welcome Dede: You've found a wonderful place, wonderful surgery, wonderful surgeon and are very fortunate to have found this list! Sit back, read, read, read, download the manual and learn all you can. The key to the surgery, getting it, and living after it are all in the manual. We're glad you're here.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 good luck, dedee! Your new " family " will be waiting right here to see what your doctor said. Remember, she just needs to agree to follow you; she doesn't have to be eager for you to have the surgery. She will learn within this process, too. But if she's admantly opposed, then smile, say thanks, and go out and get a new doc! Let no one stand in your way. This is your future we're discussing!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Thanks Terri, I did have to cancel my appointment with my Doctor today. I was reading the manual last night and it said that I could not use my Gynecologist. (My fault, I didn't read fast enough) I have an appointment with my regular Doctor 12/26/00. Thank you for the hug. I really needed it right now. I was so excited about getting started, but now I guess I have time to read that manual again. I think I will work on my letter also. This group is the greatest. Congratulations on your weight loss. I can't wait to join you. Dedee I am new! > > > > Hi Guys! > > > > I am new at this. I joined this egroup on 8/7/00.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 Terri: If you have the time you may want to print a copy of the manuel for your pcp. My pcp was in the dark when I told him what I wanted but he agreed that I needed surgery and offered to help me. Phyllis in Fla.
