April 24th

I guess I am parked here for now, unless they decide to change the date, which is possible since they haven't been consistent thus far.

It's a bitter sweet date for me though. I was hoping and praying it would be an earlier date so I'd pay less for COBRA, but that didn't happen. So now I will have to come up with an extra $500 for the COBRA costs. Dh is unemployed at the moment from being laid off, just days after I started this journey. We're still crossing our fingers he'll get called back to work soon as they told him they were trying to get him back to work before the end of the month which would really help, but until then we'll be paying COBRA.

So for now I am tenatively scheduled for April 24th.

Congratulations! I hope everything works out for you and your husband. Finances are tough, I know, and I always have to remind myself that I'm paying the money to be healthy. Good luck! I've heard wonderful things about the VSG as a stand-alone procedure.

Thanks. I am hoping it will work for me too. I am very anemic and want another baby in the future so I can't have the malabsorbtion surgeries.

I am hoping finances work out too.

I love your avatar!!!

Thanks Christy
