Hi Everyone....

Just wanted to give a group thank you for all the great replies to the

questions I have had so far.

I completed my LAST pre-op test this morning, the EGD, yay! I have a

tentative surgery date of May 1st. They told me that the chances are very

high that I will be called and fit in much sooner than that though. Im all

for it and will be ready to go at the drop of a hat! I am very, very

excited!

I will try and consense all the " getting to know you " answers below...

Amity, 29 year years old, live in Washington state, married to highschool

sweetheart Jeff, have a 3 year old daughter Hannah. I have been heavy my

whole life and after hitting my top weight of 354 pounds a few months ago I

knew I needed to do something about it. My surgery is set for May 1st with

Dr Billing at s Memorial Hospital in Edmonds, WA. Its about an

hour and a half from my home. Funny coincidence is that I was born at the

same hospital. I am calling this my rebirth! I have Premera Blue Cross who

does not pay for any WLS so I am self pay. Fortunately for me, my parents

are paying for the surgery for me. I have having the lab RNY. I live on a

farm where we raise Belgian Draft horses and veggie crops. My " other job "

is an Evidence/Crime Scene Techinician for our county Sheriff's Dept. My

husband is a fireman/paramedic. I am thankful that my entire family,

including in laws, is 190% supportive of this step that I am taking!
