:cornut: I finally have a date 1-16-12 (Dr. Nick Nicholsoin), feeling super awesone over here (the wine helps). I am blessed that from my initial decision to have surgery 7-12-11 to being approved on 11- 14-11 was a fairly easy process (I had already done tons of research). I could have had my surgery as early as 12-19-11 but my birthday is on 12-30 and I didn't want to be on a pre-op diet or recovering near my birthday. I will finally hopefully (crosses fingers) fulfill my New Year's resoulution to lose weight this year (with a lil help :wink1: ).

That is fantastic news, I'm so happy for you!

You should be estatic. Looking like you have all great things coming up in the next 45 days. A birthday, Christmas celebrations, New Year celebrations and a celebration to a new you with a new tummy.

Congrats!

Thank you both!
