Hey all! Just wanted to let you know that I have finally been approved and will be having surgery with Dr. Aceves! I'm still working on scheduling but after two years of wanting this, I finally feel like I am making progress. I am thinking about the beginning of August. I will be a nervous wreck this entire summer but will have satisfaction in knowing it will be my last as a big gyrl.:wink0: I need to follow a 7 day pre-op "liver shrinking diet" which is not the same as a liquid diet, thank God! As I get more details I will share them with you.

Wohoo! Glad to hear it. You are going to rock the sleeve.

Congrats on getting your aproval. Your'e going to love Dr Aceves and his team, they are very caring and will take good care of you. August will be here before you know it, and we'll be sliding over to make room on the losers brench for you.:thumbup:

Gratz! That's great news. I'm happy for you.

Wow! Congratulations!!! I am waiting to hear from Dr. Aceves also that I am approved. I hope also I can see him in June! Please keep me posted on how you are and anything you hear for pre-op as I will be needing to do the same thing. If the Dr. gets back to me soon enough we could be in the hospital together!!! Congrats again!!!

Thanks! I'm actually thinking about the last week in July or the first week in Aug because of my school schedule. Good luck on getting your approval and keep in touch Tlynnles!
