Praise God - I'm almost there!

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my happy news of finally being accepted into the

bariatric program. I've been jumping through all the hoops since

September... went to my appt. this morning emotionally drained,

because all I ever hear is come back in 3 weeks, come back in 4

weeks, etc... I was just about ready to give up because it's been so

discouraging... but today, they said they would take me and they are

going to call in a week or two with my date!!!! Best thing is, they

are also scheduling my husband who started the whole process a month

after I did! We are on cloud 9 because we are so happy we can do

this together. We had some difficulty along the way because people

kept telling me I wasn't " big enough " ... I mean geeze, this journey

is difficult enough without hearing that.. right?!

Anyway, we're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and I

say for anyone who has been waiting like we did.. hang in there and

fight if you have to. If you've decided it's the right thing for

YOU, then it IS!!

Just had to share the news....

Mia - BMI 35

220/210/?? (the nurse actually told me I might have to worry about

getting too thin.. I can't imagine!)
