I am so elated at this moment. This week has been so stressful. First I was upset because my last PCP visit was Oct. 8th and I felt that my scheduler was taking her time with sending in my paperwork. Then the paperwork was sent and the insurance lady didn't have it( come to find out her coworker had it). Then I was missing three reports so I was to the doctor's office myself which sent me to medical records and she faxed them, couldn't get a hold to confirm that yesterday so I had to call this morning, now she was missing one, So I called medical reords back and she sent over the missing report. Four hours later I had a message on my machine saying that I was approved, a letter was emailed to me, mailed to me and faxed to my scheduler. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so now I was calling the scheduler. She wanted to put my on the docket Oct. 31st Halloween ha ha, but I couldnt do it that close because of work, so I settled on Nov. 5th. I ran to my job to explain to my boss face-toface that I had to be removed from the schedule and needed two weeks off. She had no problem giving it to me. I still had to get my gym in so I ran and caught a water areobics class (which kicked my tail) But i'm feeling alright.

I am so excited right now. I told one girlfriend that we had to plan where I was going to have my 'last meal' but at this moment it doesn't even matter. What I found that was interesting is that even though I'm with the same surgery group my first surgeon wanted me to do a two week diet and my new one (which I might add is the Director of Baratric surgery at Bon Secours) only requires 1 day of clear liquids the day before doesn't even tell me to flush out (which i'm going to do anyway). Right now I feel like i've hit the lottery. Nothing is more important to me than to get myself healthly and I'm going to use this tool to the best of my ability to live a long healthly life.

Oh! and I must add, i've been on these boards since March 2013......and it's finally great to post that it's going forward....lol
