Any room on the bench for me?

I got approved!!  I found out last night that Kaiser approved me and I have an appt for my consultation with Dr. Macik on August 9 @ 3:15.  Kaiser is kinda wonky in that they approve you first and then refer you to the surgeon...either way I'm just happy that they approved me!!  YAY me!!

Absolutely Chickie!  I had my upper GI today...nasty but cool....and now I just have to wait and get my pulmonary clearance appt.  I am so excited for you!!!!!  Thanks for going with me last night.  This is going to be so much better to go through this together!  Yay!!!!!

Yea! Welcome to the board and the "Macik Herd"
Congratulations.

I am so excited for you. i know it has been a long process to get approved but in the end it will be so worth it. All the waiting drove me nuts..but now here i am 5 months later and I don't even remember the wait LOL Now i wonder if this weight will ever come off!! Funny how we replace one worry with another!!
I cant wait to share surgery stories and the "here after" ones too!
I love ya!!

 Aww thanks sweetie. It has been a long wait and I'm almost there finally.  And yes, your weight will come off.  You are down 60 lbs already....I doubt I will recognize you the next time I see you.
