:tongue2:I went to the seminar on Wednesday and then I stayed for the Support Group meeting. It was amazing how I felt so comfortable amongst so many strangers.

The next day (yesterday) I mailed out my application and the surgeon's office should have it today. I also went to my PCP to get referrals for all the doctors in the team at SMMC in Biddeford. I thought I was going to have to beg for the referral, it was so easy. She put me on the scale my BMI is 43 and she asked me if I was ready for this and I said I've been thinking about that and when I went to the support group I knew I was ready.

The next thing I know she is calling the doctors offices and trying to set up dates so that I can get referrals with those doctors. I told her that I had just mailed in the application and I haven't yet been approved by the surgeon, and she said that was okay and that she just needed dates for the referrals. So, that was that~

Now I am just waiting to hear from the surgeon. I hope his office calls soon with good news.

We will keep our fingers crossed...congrats on the first steps!!

Congrats! a step in the right direction.
