well this is new for me, not much of a computer person. I'm currently in Stage 2 of the process. My surgeon is Edward Lin, and my surgery will be through Emory Bariatric Center. Had a very hard time getting my PCP to write my medical necessary letter, all kinds of reasons--my DM, wanted me to try loosing on my own--ha ha-- like I have not tried my whole life. I'm a RN and one of the other docs in the group is now helping me! A big answer to prayer!!! So everyone I have all kinds of questions, am excited and scared to death all in the same instance. I call Dr. Lin's group tuesday 9-2-08 and hopefully will have more news.
My family's support is wonderful. My husband of 29 years is great, he is as excited as I am. I have three wonderful children, 3 out of this world fantastic grandkids, and the best son-in-law anyone could ask for--yes I'm blessed. Thanks to everyone who has gone before me, for answering my questions, letting me know I'm not alone.
