I am sitting here with tears of joy streaming down my face - I have

been approved as of 08/23/00 by CIGNA PPO for the MGB!!!!!!!!!!!! The

joy is for the " cure " I will now have for my surely fatal disease -

the fear comes as a whole separate issue of course. Of course there

is fear of complications but I think also fear of how I will live my

life as something other than the fat person I have always been! Wish

me luck finishing my packet. Am hoping for a date of 10/04/00 if

anyone else is going around that time. Thanks for always being there

for me (and all of us).

Congratulations !!! I am 12 days post-op and can already see

that this is the best decision I have made in a long time. I'm so

happy that it's your turn now!

Thanks Stormy,

I have watched and listened to you guys and can't wait for it to be

my turn. I just e.mailed the office to see if a date in September

the week of the 19th would even be possible. If not, I will stick to

my original plan of 10/4 if that is possible. I can't wait. Am

scared though.
