On my way!!!

So yesterday was my final NUT appt... This week i completed my cardiologist, pulmonologist, and surgeon clearance... On Monday my 6 months worth of pre-op will be submitted to my insurance for approval (or gasp, denial)... I'm just saying a prayer that it goes through and is approved because I start my pre-op diet next week! Can't believe how fast these 6 months have gone!!! Hoping to be living the banded life starting 8/5/13!!
