I got APPROVED!!!!
I am beside myself with JOY!!! I found out today that I have been approved for surgery! I will have a VSG on May 5th! Cinco de Mayo! Awesome! I go for my "education" day and blood work on the 23rd. I get to learn all the fun stuff as far as my pre-op diet (10 day strict diet with the last 4 days being a liquid diet), my post-op diet, and what to expect before/during/after surgery. I am sure what I here will be similar to what I have already learned through research and my good friends here. They said I will leave with a reference notebook... which will come in handy after surgery. Of course, they say "Call anytime you have questions." Man, oh MAN! I am super pumped! Can't wait to get this ball rolling!
YaHOOOOOOO!
I know you are anxiously awaiting your date too! It was so awesome to get that phone call. Now, the count down seems so much more manageable!
Congrats!!
