Congrats on your date!

[Guest guest]

,

Congratulations on your surgery date! I marked it in my calendar to follow up

on your progress. I'm so excited for you, jealous a little, but excited!!

I hope everything goes well, I have heard nothing but good things about Dr

Rutledge. I've talked to my local surgeon, Dr Bruck, about Dr R and the MGB. I

wasn't too sure about doing everything over the internet, and never meeting the

man in advance. Dr Bruck really helped me feel confindent in my decision to

select Dr R and the MGB.

How long did it take for approval once you sent in your packet? I went to my

PCP today for my physical and history. Dr Struble said he will dictate a letter

today and I can pick it up tomorrow. My Mom is trying to finish up her letter

for tomorrow and then I should be able to send my packet off!

I am switching insurance carriers effective 1/1/01 and will submit my letter to

them on 1/2/01!! Seems like an eternity away.

Hey, what a small world!! is such a nice gal, she is just a couple

desks away from me. I've been talking about the MGB at work alot lately. a

said that she saw you at that meeting for Hurley in Midland. When I read the

e-mail from you on your friend that just had the MGB the other week I asked

about it. Then, I got an e-mail from you responding to one of mine and

told " I think I got an e-mail from your Mom! "

Long winded tonight arn't I.

Take care and good luck! Keep me posted on how things go. Are you driving or

flying? Where are you staying?
