Hi Everyone!!!

I got the best news today! I am approved!!!!

Let me tell you, Nicole at Dr. C's office is now my most absolute favorite person! We got off on a bumpy start but she has gone above and beyond anything I could have expected.

Tomorrow I will find out when I fly to San Francisco, but I now have a tentative date of Jan 13 or 14th!!! Can you believe it? WOOOHOOO that's next week!!!

I can't wait to join you all on the losers bench!!!

Aloha,
viki

Thank you Makena! I have HMSA eff 1/1 I changed from Kaiser. My first surgery choice was the VSG but HMSA won't approve that unless my BMI is over 60 so I'm getting the RNY. I'm so happy!!!
