Lara,

I'm getting lines through the text too. Anyone have a clue as to why? By

the way, you're really doing great with your weight loss - you'll be in

Durham before you know it. This surgery is the best thing that I've ever

done for me. You just gotta love Dr. R to bits,

Absolutely!!!!!!! And being this way sure makes me feel like I am in jail.

I am not able to do all the things I would love to do. My husband and I have

been talking about it and he is going with me to do something I have always

wanted to do but have never been able. LEARN TO DANCE. I want to dance and

dance and dance so much that my feet hurt. I also want to be a runner. I

can remember what it felt like as a little girl running and how much I

enjoyed it. After the MGB I plan to run races and even a marathon because

that is something I never thought I would be able to do. Thanks for writing.

[Guest guest]

Once your packet is sent in, Dr R will review it and then you will get a date

for surgery (assuming he approves you..which I think most people do get

approved unless there is a problem like previous WLS or something). I know

ALL about nervousness..cause I am there too! I have been researching for 4

months now and just sent my online form 2 weeks ago. I just wanted to take

it slowly to make sure it was what I really wanted. ANyway..I am still here

if you want to talk!

I think once your packet is in and you are approved it is just a couple of

Thanks I am so lost with this computer stuff. I just wanted to talk to

anyone about my nervousness. I have been approved by my insurance company

and now all I have to do I guess is send in the package. But where do I go

from there?

Amarilys:

I'm not sure if you were writing to me or to Lara. I'd be pleased to speak

with you, but you may realize I am pre-op, so I wouldn't be a 'contact.'

Congratulations on the baby. Contratulations on the job. And

congratulations on the insurance OK.

I appreciate your time. I do want to talk. Is this the only way that we

are able to talk is thought the email. There isn't an instant messenger

that you guys talk though.

My husband and my family are really excited for me. And I am for myself. I

know that this is what I want. I have been looking into it for about 4

years. Not with Dr. R, but else where and I have had a hard time with the

insurance companies and my primary care. But now it looks like everything

is in order.

How long did you have to wait to get scheduled for surgery after you had all

you stuff turned in.

Thanks again for talking to me.
