APPROVED -- woooooooooo hooooooooo!!!
I know how excited you feel, Amy. I remember the feeling well. The morning of surgery I wasn't the least bit nervous and had a good night's sleep the night before. I knew I was doing the right thing for me. I'm hoping to be at goal by my one year anniversary, but things have really slowed down. I'm not being as compliant as I was at first. I am still losing, just much slower. My advice would be, make sure you walk and drink as much as you can. Also, be compliant, don't try eating something that's forbidden, you may find you can tolerate it and then you'll want it. I'm there right now and beating myself up for even trying something they said I had to give up. You'll be so happy five months from now. I can't believe the change in me since surgery. I'm a much happier person these days.

thanks Jan. I think that is the only thing that makes me nervous -- failure to be compliant and forever change my lifestyle. Some people have been so successful..others have not. I know one gal who said she will still sit down and eat 5 pieces of pizza and then just go get sick in the bathroom. What is the point of this? In any case, I HOPE i can be one of the success stories long term.

I would LOVE for it to be the same time as yours!!! I am hoping to hear soon from my surgeon's office, but with it being the week between CHRISTmas and New Year's I didn't think I would hear from them. I hope next week brings me the call!!
Where are you getting your surgery done?
