I just can't believe it!

It took me 44 years to get here, but only 2 1/2 to make it through the process....I can hardly believe it! I got my approval yesterday, and my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow....talk about taking it down to the wire! But, I still can't believe I was approved. All along I figured I'd be denied because I don't have the co-morbidities (yet!) but my BMI being just over 40 made it happen. Now I understand what everyone was saying about hearing that little word! It's like someone just said "you're worth investing in"....at least for me. It surprised me how emotional that made me feel. Anyway, I call this afternoon for my surgery time for tomorrow...so I'll see you guys on the other side! Think good thoughts for me!!! I'll be thinking of all of your struggles and successes to help get me through the next week or so! You're an inspiration!!!! Alison
