Hi to everyone and Welcome to all you newbies. My heart skips a beat every time

I see our member count increase. It saddens me to know that anyone else has to

live with this nasty disease.

I haven't been posting alot. I've been rushing around trying to get Christmas

finished up. Just a few more things left to do!

As many of you know I've been working the past 6 months to get insurance

authorization so that I can have gastric banding (Realize Band) surgery. I had

my last 6 month diet appointment Nov. 23rd. Friday I got the call from my

surgeon's office saying I have been APPROVED! Normally it takes only a few days

for insurance authorization but, because of the Thanksgiving holiday it took

almost a week longer. Boy was I nervous during the entire wait. Now I'm waiting

on clearance from my pulmonologist and cardiologist. I should have my surgery

date by the end of this week.

I am beyond excited that I'm blessed enough to have this opportunity. Weight is

something I have struggled with all my life. I've fought very hard in the most

recent years because of my IPF, medications, and decreased activity. I'm ready

to kick this.

To top off the excitment of my surgery I'm grateful that my family will all be

here in Florida with me to do Christmas over New Year's weekend. This will be

the fist time in a long while that my parents, 2 sisters, 1 brother and 7 nieces

& nephews will be together all at one time. " Somehow " they will all fit in my

house and help Billy and me with the cooking and cleaning.

This may just be the best Christmas ever for me!

hugs
