:frown: I am so excited! After waiting for months, I finally got approved. I still have 3 pretests, a EGD, a Pulmonary Function test, and Cardic Echo. I have a Nutrition Class, then my final consult with the Surgeon. In that time I have to get my 600 dollar Program fee payed up. It's still gonna be a little while. But I am on my way. Woooo hooooooo!
