patient letter

[Guest guest]

hi friends, i'm working on completing my packet so i can send it out

by wednesday. i was hoping to have at fed-ex this weekend, however,

my pcp goofed and only had the physician's letter done and no h&p.

i'm finishing my patient letter, and i've noticed that there is a new

question...regarding lt...how much does dr r really want on her? i do

not want to go back to her site!!! anyway, i am hoping that someone

who has recently sent in their packet (like within the last month)

and was approved for the mgb...would you please share about your

letter...font size, did you single or double space, margins, and were

there any questions that you did not get a full page on but had more

than a page on others? i'm not meaning to obsess over details, but i

want to do this right. i wish that dr r would post the specifics on

his site.

anyway, thanks for your help!

happy thanksgiving to all!!!

to other preops that may be a bit discouraged and waiting for their

turn to dance...today lets try to focus on all that we have to be

thankful for, sometimes i feel like planning on hoping for this

surgery consumes my every moment. i have so much to be grateful

for...4 great healthy kids, 2 special grandkids, a job to go to, a

car that gets me there, a roof over my head, freedom, too much to

list.

however, let me mention this. i lost my mom 5 years ago this month. i

was not " close " to her, and when my kids and i left connecticut to

move to north carolina...her heart was broken. " why do you have to

move so far away, i'll never get to see you and the kids " . my

response to her was that just cuz we were related by blood didn't

make us close, and i didn't have a problem being 800 miles away from

her. at lunch the other day, i was amazed how most of the women my

age whose mothers are still living were complaining so about such

small things...their moms little quirks...you know what?...now, while

it is too late, really miss my mom's little quirks. for those of you

who have your parents...please appreciate them more and tell them how

much you love them. wish i could.

sorry this became so long...

(((hugs)))
