just got approved to see a surgeon.

I just got out of the army and my husband is stationed here at fort leonard woo, mo. tricare approved me to see a doctor that is almost 3 hours away. i have done alot of reading on this guy and im really looking forward to meeting him. everyone keeps saying that he is a very kind and caring man.

Congrats, well worth the drive!!  Remember that this is just to SEE him, he will get you approved for the surgery.  Once he puts it in you should be approved in less than a week.

really wow. i cant wait i have to go to a seminor on easter sunday before he will see me in his office. i pray this all goes well i found out i have a fatty liver due to my weight and its freaking me out.

Don't worry about that.  They might put you on a low carb pre-op diet.
