Hello! I finally got my approval today - it came through at 1:17pm. I have been calling and calling everyday for 2 weeks and finally today!! I started this process a year ago and after several denials - I have made it. I get a month and a half off from work - teach at a college - so I told my dr.'s office i wanted to do it soon - they are trying to schedule it around xmas. Yikes - nervous but can't wait to get started on this journey!

I have been reading this website for a few weeks and it has been so wonderful - thanks to all of you!

Welcome Lucky Girl! Glad you were approved. Where in Texas are you?

Thanks for the welcome! Okay OU - get ready - I'm from College Station... the Sooners can thank us for going to the big 12 - however, if my husband knew I was talking to a sooner I'd be in BIG trouble - he thinks Stoops is the devil.... yes, i'm an Ag...

Thats ok, My wife is a huge Longhorn fan. Can you imagine our house on the big day. I told her I was rooting for Texas against you Ags, but was secretely rooting for you! So to you and your husband - Thank you! :clap2:

You're welcome! It was a great day on Friday - I was in Dallas with other Longhorn fans - as i said it was a great day! I can't say "good luck" to you - you know - vows and all - that would be going against them for sure - but I'll be sad when football season is over - it's been a fun fall! Imagine next fall though - football and skinny pants - great!!

Welcome and congratulations!

yay! Congrats

Best Wishes on your surgery....

keep us posted on your progress.
