Hello all. I posted a few days ago for the first time with some questions about who to go to for surgery. I think that I have made up my mind. Appointments with dietician and psychologist are tomorrow and Friday and then with surgeon Nov. 5th. Still looking tentatively to surgery December 1. Just need to get final approval from primary insurance company. Secondary company, through my husbands place of employment has already approved surgery.
Just wanted to introduce myself a little more. My family consist of three wonderful children (3), one husband (1) and me, (3+1and me). My oldest son, Danny, just turned 17. My daughter, Anna, is almost 7 and my little one, Micah is just 15 months. Yes, I am quite busy!! (It used to be 3+1and me and a dog, cat, turtle and two leapard geckos, but got rid of the turtle and lizards.)
I have to agree with Racheler that it seems you all have a lot of fun here. Seeing her family pic reminds me of some of my big plans for after surgery! I am going to have my wedding dress altered, renew our vows and have my hubby wisks me away on an airplane for a real honeymoon which we have never had! Who knows, it may include three children and some place with a lot of roller costers!!
Glad I found you all and looking forward to some good advice and chats!
