Well I FINALLY got the sign off from the nutritionist this morning! It took 3 trips but its done. Dr. Aranow wanted me to loose 10 pounds before surgery, well as of this morning I lost 15 pounds. All I have left is a stress test this thursday and as soon as they get the report, its off to the insurance company. Since I work for the state, approval is a given. I still have 2 more support groups at the hospital to attend, but they told me by the time approval comes back, I'll have those completed. I started this journey 23 months ago and its finally coming true. It just shows if you want something bad enough, dreams can come true

Congrats hun! I remember when Liz said she would pass me off. Best day of my life. Keep the weight off since it makes it easier for Dr. A. He told me after the extra 9 pounds I lost made a difference.

Since he is the one holding the knife, I want to make it as easy as I can for him. May his hands be steady and his scalpel sharp, I don't want to be facing an angel playing a harp
