Low and Behold,Im APPROVED!!!

Praise the Lord! I recieved my approval letter today! I  checked the mail @ 3 pm and faxed it to Dr Bellows @ 3:30,left a message for sheila.Im now waiting on them to call me with a surgury Date,but im not gonna hold my breath,lol.Praying that they call soon though and that its not 2 far away! So Happy to be able to  post something positive for a change.

im sssssooo happy you finally got your approval!!!...  maybe what i said will be true we will all have our vsgs around the same time..she hasnt called me for a date... im hoping she will by friday ... if not i guess ill call back monday eventhough im nervous too...cuz she might "put me to bottom of pile"... im thinking maybe they wait to get a couple approvals in before the set some dates... and if what she said was true when i went last time it will be in June...  idk let me know if you hear anything...

I will let you know,im praying it will be much sooner!

congratulations to u both. I remember being in yall's shoes 6 months ago. They gave me a date for 3 months ahead. I would bug the **** out of them until they gave me a date!!!!!!!!!! ;o) I have lost 185 pounds in 6 months, this has been the hardest journey I have ever taken.......................... but
OH so worth it! Good luck in yall's journey.

thank you disabled_nurse... im trying to give her the benefit of doubt and not call her till monday/tuesday that will be a week since we spoke and over a week since i sent my approval... im just hoping she gets it together and calls me first.... and congrats on all that weight loss.. amazing

when i was in tulane hosp in nov, they were taking over another doc practice, so i bet they are swamped!!!!!!!! but that is no excuse, they should have enough staff hired to take care of all the patients, i would fax it a few times!!!!!! ;o) and call mon, hope yall get ur date soon!!!!!!!!! only eating 3 to 4 ounces and ur stuffed like a xmas turkey still amazes me!!!!!!!! if u ever want to call and ask me some questions ur more than welcome.
