Hi Drema~ hang in there! it is a long process but if it is meant to be you will prevail. How about if you typed up the letter and brought it back to your Dr to have him sign it. It would save you both alot of time. =)
I wish you the best and pray that your WLS journey goes as well as mine has. Take care and God Bless. ~Cherie LapRNY 10/18/02 -87lbs
Dear Drema: I can relate to your frustrations with getting through the approval process. I don't care what anyone says - pre-op is a tough place to be! My problems center around getting all my testing done - it's just taking so long and I'm getting discouraged. I guess all we can do is "keep plugging along." Best wishes to you. Just wanted to know there's someone else who feels your pain.
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I really am so tired of all this and then to make matters worse I got lab work back that had across the top in big black letters "at risk for cardiovascular disease." Now I already knew this but seeing it in black and white really scared me. My mother has been bedridden for 15 years because of heart disease. I do not want to live like that. She has no quality of life. I start my family kind of late in life and I want to be there for them. It is just all so scary. My mom was about my size all her life. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. I really like the mustard seed verse. Makes me think of when I was young and wore that mustard seed in a necklace. I have always had lots of faith. Just don't know where it is right now. Momma Angel, you are truly an angel....to everyone. All the post you do and emails too....we all need you. Thanks again...love and prayers to you all.
DREMA~~ NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP~~"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible to you."
