OMG!OMG! I'm approved with a surgery date.

Hi NC ladies and gents. I called at 10:00 am and she said approved. REALLY? I'm approved. JUNE 28th is the day. I am so excited but the reality is setting in. Am I ready to do this? Can I do this? I have to do this! I started on March 28th and and three months later, I'm there! WhooHOOOOO. Jennifer

You can do it! You will do it, girl!!! Many, many congratulations and happy thoughts flying your way. This is awesome news. So glad for you. I remember my approval day like it was yesterday and hope I NEVER forget how happy I was and I finally had HOPE! Best wishes always, Karen

Thanks Karen. We started out about the same weight. Do you have after pics yet? I've smiled all day. It's like I have a new chance at the old me and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Jennifer

Congrats!!!! I started this process in December and am STILL waiting for my stuff to be sent to insurance. Some days I wonder if I will ever get there. . . Keep us posted! Hugs, Donna

Jennifer, Woooo Hooooo! Congrats!!! Finger Crossing works! I will let you know when you can cross yours for me! Lori

Congratulations Jennifer! You started your process on the day I had my surgery. Only you know for sure if you're ready, but you definitely can do this. I'll say it again for the umpteenth time, start walking everyday for as long as you can, up your protein, and start sipping drinks and taking small bites that you chew thoroughly. Everything you do to prepare now will help your recovery later. I wish I'd practiced the smaller bites and sipping ahead of time, that's why I say that. It was hard at first to reign myself in, I wish I'd done more of that preop. Take care and keep us posted. ~Ellen

YEA! I am so glad for you! It took me 3 years and moving to another insurance to get my approval! YES you can! You've come this far and made the tough decision and the dream can come true! I was excited to see 25 pounds drop away this past month. I had my surgery a month ago. It was trying for me, I was depressed thinking, "what did I do?" That lasted a few days right after surgery. Once I realized what was in store for me, I rebounded and I have been happy and excited about the weight losses. thanks for sharing the terrific news Antoinette

Hooray! So glad that everything went through just fine. Your ready for this and we're here to support you! Get some good before pictures so that we'll be able to watch your progress. Wendy
