OMG reality is setting in

Omg, I can't believe this is finally gonna happen!! I've been waiting for this for 7 yrs. Finally everything is kinda magically falling together. Unexpected funds showed up, 2 different times, and happens to equal almost the exact amount that I needed for surgery. I guess maybe it's true that what's meant to be will happen in it's own sweet slow time lol. I am alternating between extreme joy and excitement, to actual terror. But I am so ready to be a Sleever!!! 5/16 can't get here soon enough!!!

:hippie:

Thanks everyone!

@Kerry, i know the feeling about family, I try to hide my fear too, and only speak with total confidence. I've got y'all on this board to cry, whine, and complain to lol!! Lucky y'all. :)

I am going to TJ Mexico with Dr Ramos-Kelly. Wow you're on the 5/9?? Just a little over 2 wks!! Congrats! Update me how it goes. Which dr are you going to?

Kelly

I am very excited for you! It is sometimes very mysterious how things happen.

Hang in there. I will be sleeved on June 6th tentatively and have the same feelings. I will be so glad to be on the other side of surgery. I have my last PCP weight loss visit (#6) on 5/2/2011. Everything else is done. We all have to stick together to encourage and support each other. Thanks for posting.

So happy for you that everything is falling into place. God will make a way. He hears our prayers and knows the desires of our heart.
