I had my Dietician Appt today and all is well. I have been recommended to move on to see the Internist and from there recommendation for surgery. All my tests came back good and other team members had already submitted their reports. YEAH!!!

I asked if I would be denied surgery because of my weight loss and was advised absolutely not!

So I'm moving forward and getting closer to the goal. I was advised that I would probably get an appointment with the surgeon by December and surgery was possible in January or February.

It's an exciting time!

Congrats... uhm... may I ask why would they deny you if you lose weight?

I was concerned that if I lost too much weight and my numbers fell below the threshold for acceptance that I might be denied. I had posted about that about a month ago. Today I got confirmation that weight loss would not be grounds for denial. In fact, it was exactly what they wanted to see.
