Just got the phone call about 1 hour ago, Approved first time. I am quite suprised as i am 5'4"....and weight 206 on my first visit. I think the whole process only took about 4 months. I have only told my husband, as I am afraid people will look at me all the after the surgery, and wonder....Is she really going to loose the weight? I am nervous, yet looking forward to a new way of eating and living. Has anyone else used Dr. Small in Palm Harbor?
