Approval Letter!!!!!

I just received my Approval Letter. I am in disbelief right now, but so excited. I was just told that the surgeon is scheduled out until January.

I guess now I have some time to really wrap my mind around this idea. It has seemed so out of reach for so long!

Congrats! I just got approved as well and would say use this time that you have before Jan to start trying to eat slightly smaller healthier meals. Find out what type of diet they'll wnat you on post-op after getting back into solids,like what amount protein etc. and start trying it out now. That's what I'm doing,so it will be easier to know what to eat later. Good luck!

Congrats on getting your approval.  Sounds like your on the right track to a healthier you!

Hey Erika!!  Congratulations on getting that approval!!  That certainly was a big relief for me as well.  I'm sorry that you have to wait until January, but at least you will have some time to get prepared and psyched up for the whole experience!!  That's really good news!!

Congrats on the approval,

I know your pain when it comes to Dr. Joyce's schedule. I was originally scheduled for Sept 21 but decided to appeal my original denial for a VSG. Luckily my appeal went through but since we canceled my first date I was pushed out to November 2, 2009. It will flyby especially with all of the holidays crammed into the next 2 months. Perfect time to indulge a little and start the New Year off with a bang.

Yeah for you!  I have Dr. Joyce too. Luckily scheduled for Nov 11, but I  bet with the holidays they take some time off.  I think he only does surgery 2 days a week...one day he does RNY, etc the other he does lapband...at least that is what I got from the info session.  the time will fly by.  Good luck!  georgie

Thanks all! I got a date this morning. I am scheduled for January 4th. YEA!

Awesome news !!

Congrats Erika!

Congrats on your approval!  January will be here before we know it!  I would suggest getting a jump start on the fitness part asap.  This will allow  you to heal quicker and help you lose a few lbs prior to surgery.  Get off the caffeine and carb beverages and you will be on a great start to a healthier you.
