I was leaving for a weigh in and nutritional review Tuesday morning when my phone rang.  It was my surgeons office asking if the first week of October worked for my DS surgery!  I was stunned.  They said they had a letter of approval from my insurance and I was good to go!  I was so freaked, I said I couldn't do it.   There was some mistake!  I have a 6 month wait and I am only 4 months into the program!  So I went to my appointment and guess what?  I am approved.  I ran over to the surgeons office and I am now booked to have my DS surgery on October 4, 2011!  I am so excited.  I have so much too do!  I cried when I told my husband.  I upset him.  He thought I was sad.  Our 7 year old daughter said "Daddy, can't you see she is happy?"  Men just don't get the happy tear thing!  I have so much to do to get ready.  I still just can't believe my luck!

Thank you to all for your support.  Amber,  I am having the DS because when I went to my second seminar it was given by Dr.  Hill.  He was an amazing speaker.  He said at my weight and with my lifestyle that the DS would be a good choice.  Linda gave the same advice.  They are so amazing at AMC.  I see you have already lost 21lbs.  Keep up the good work!
