XPOST: APPROVED!!
It has been a long week and I am glad it’s done! The nurses reviewing my case really tried everything to deny me but I had all my documentation and an amazing rep. We battled and we won! I have been officially approved for the DS!! I am dancing circles and yipping for joy! Surgery date will soon be set up. It might be as soon as 2 to 4 weeks! WOW! I can’t be more mentally prepared than I already am.
THANK YOU everyone! It means more than words how much knowledge I have acquired from all of you ladies and gents. I have got support, advice, scolding and love from all of you. If I could smother you all in kisses and hugs I would lol
