Hi Dora!

Hang in there! It will happen! I know how hard it is, as I am sure

all who have had their surgery do. Try to keep yourself busy! Also,

remember its just a short while now until the journey moves into the

next phase! I hope you hear from them real soon!

Have a terrific weekend!

Hi Dora

i know its hard to wait but it took me over 81/2 months to go through the

process. i finally had my surgery june 17,2004 and it was well worth the wait.

good luck Terry

I thought waiting for my approval was bad. This waiting for my surgery date is

killing me. And I guess the hard part is that my hands are tied. I don't have

anyone to call like I did before while trying to get my stuff together. I know

it sounds insignificant, but I really want to know my date and if they don't do

it today I have to continue waiting. UGGGHHHHH

Hi ,

I am waiting also. I got both my approval letters in the mail( lucky

enough to have 2 insurances). But I am in agony waiting for a date.

Its a hard feeling to descibe to people. when they say.. " aren't you

excited " well yes I am! But not having a date makes it seem still

unreal that it is going to finally happen.. I thought I would get

the date last week. But nope. Sitting around waiting for someone

else to do their job is hell. I am getting my surgery in Bellvadere

Illinois. anyone else out there, had it done there.. please email me

and let me know what to expect.. any info is welcome.

I hope your wait is ended quickly
