Hello everyone,

I have been lurking and watching the site for months, finally have gotten up enough nerve to jump in:rolleyes: . I started my process mid-August and just found ou this week that I have officaially been APPROVED for surgery (big YAYYY). I was so excited , until I contacted my surgeins office inquiring about my surgery date, only to find out that I have to wait till January to have surgery. I was so disappointed, apparently my surgeon is already booked up for the month of December . Seems he is VERY popular here in Hampton Roads, VA. So, now I have to wait for his January schedule to open up , along with at least 30 others (so I've been told). I am just praying that it can at least be early January.

Don't get me wrong I am EXTREMELY grateful to have been approved. I know that's a very big hurdle, but I was very anxious to get my band like yesterday. I had already enrolled in a credited Zumba class for school starting in January, I may have to drop it now.

Congratulations on your approval!! I'm sorry you have to wait til January but it will be here before you know it. What a great start to a new year. I wish you lots of success on your journey!!
