Way to go Paula! I was very apprehensive about approval too so I prepared a five page "essay" as my doctor called it, outlining all my past dieting efforts, family and personal medical history, and summary of the process. They told me it might take up to 30 days but in less than 2 days I got the OK. Thats the biggest hurdle until surgery so now you can start cramming for post-op care info. Good luck!
