Well I am approved!!! My date is pencilled in for Nov 14 or 15!!! I am sooo HAPPY!!! I can't believe it! A new nurse reviewed my case and was asking for info she didn't need. When Melanie called she said she would look into it and they approved it! I didn't need anything else. All I can say is oh my gosh!!! When it wasn't there for me I was upset but it is there for me now I am going to do it! I have so much to do I have to buy 2 months of vitamins and protein. I need a preop physical and blood work and chest x-ray. I am excited! Angel

CONGATS!!!!!!!!!!! Only about 2 weeks to go. Just to let you know GNC has a 20% off sale between the 1st and the 7th if you sign up for a membership which is like 10 dollars. I hade to buy the 2 month supply also and that is were I got mine. It saved me like $50.00. I hated it that you have to show a recite for 2 months supply of everything. Good luck and your in good hands. Dr. Smolik did a great job on me!!! He is a good surgeon. I will keep you in my prayers. Melissa 337/247/170 90 LBS DOWN IN 3 AND A HALF MONTHS

Angela, I also bought a hand mixer (without beaters) to mix protein drinks and a snowcone machine for those first weeks postop. I am sure you are already making your "laundry list" of things that you need. Take care! Nicole
