Hi Tamisu,

When I paid the sterling the value was approx EUR 4,000.00. I have sent them an email as their website is still advertising in sterling, also my sister was interested but this has now put her off.

Have you been given a diet to follow (pre op)?

See you on 22nd, I am staying at the Camponile

Hi Allison, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I just got back from a brilliant week in Iceland!

All I was told about diet was low-fat for the 2 weeks before surgery. I wrote yesterday to send them my flight info, try to get a schedule of what and when, and also to make sure they received my deposit. Haven't gotten a reply, yet.

I'm getting so excited, our turn will be here soon.-T

daqui,

I am so sorry to hear that you have to wait another 3 months. For me, the waiting was the hardest part of the process (although patience never has been my strongest virture :thumbup:). Good luck, stay strong....this will still be your year !!!!

I am ! I can't quite believe it yet...I've fought with the insurance company for 2-yrs to get approval and finally have gotten it.... my date is 1/29 and I can't wait !

muffie99,

That is WONDERFUL ....Congratulations!!! I too just received insurance company final approval, so my date is confirmed for the 30th, the day after yours ! My pre-surgical visit is the 19th, which is also the day I start the full Liquid Protein diet. The day I got the approval we booked a trip to Paris for my 50th birthday in late June.....so I have 5 months of incentive to do whatever it takes to be successful ....so much to be grateful for in 2009 :thumbup:

I am too sorry daqui for that you have to wait. Just keep your head up and it will soon be here before you know it. I will be praying for you.

I had my surgery on the 8th and I am doing fine. I don't think was a mistake at all. I just wish I could have done this sooner in life.

Good luck with everyone's up coming surgery's. My prayers are with each one of you.
