I love You Kim an thanks to all of you for being there. to read an get answers from. Thanks Tom
Tom, that is Great getting your approval. You will have to let me know how your vanderbilt experience is. I am going through them and plan on have WLS there as well. I have no doubt that you will experience all kinds of emotions between now and your date. Don't let that detour you from staying positive and on the right track. Know that this approval was meant for you. You would not have gotten approved if it was not meant to be. Everything happens for a reason. I wish you so much success and for you to be healthy soon. Your wife sounds like a wonderful supportive person. That is great. Good luck with your journey. You will do fine.

Congratulations Tom!!
I'm so happy for you. I'll just do a happy
for you.
I was also full of mixed emotions. I was so excited but scared out of my mind. I was impatient for my time to come. I was just
.
It is absolutely wonderful that you have such a supportive wife. You will need all the support you can get.
Don't give up on your dreams and keep us udated as to how you are doing and when you get the date.
Julie

Tom,
Congratulations! My surgeon is Dr. Willie Melvin. I had a surgery date a week after being approved. I can understand your excitement. I've walked around the last 10 days with my head in the clouds. It's really hard to stay focused.
Again, congratulations on becoming a looser, like the rest of us!
If you have any questions about Vanderbilt, please feel free to drop me an email. I will be happy to help.
Take care,
Beth
