 I called my surgeon's office today just to check to see how things were going with my approval.  She checked the computer and said we submitted on last Wednesday and guess what you are APPROVED.  I started crying I couldn't believe it. I was so emotional.  It has been a long time coming or atleast it felt like a long time. I have been at this since last April.  My official surgery date is March 14th.

I am so excited, yet so nervous.  I start my pre-op diet Feb 28th.  I need to get some protein drinks.
