I've completed everything required. I wanted to be sleeved before the year was over but hoping it will be done in January. Hopefully, I will be approved and receive a date before the year ends.

Congrats of getting through all of your pre-op requirements. My approval took less than a week but it was the longest week of my life! LOL

What a great way to start out 2014. And just think of where you'll be ringing in 2015 in a year's time. Good luck!

Thank you so much! I can only pray mine won't take long this time of year. I'm soooo excited about change.

Fingers crossed for a quick reply Best of luck to you.

Thanks

Congrats on getting through everything hoping you get approved soon!

Thanks

I am also waiting for my approval. I was told it could be up to 2 week before I hear back from anyone. It has been two days and I have never felt more nervous in my life. I'm also very anxious about it because as it stands right now, the only people in my life who are supporting me are the ones who have gotten WL surgery before. (2 people) everyone else including my best friend and mother are pushing hard for me not to do this. If I get approved it's only a matter of time before I am heathy for the first time in my life. I feel your pain. And it feels nice to know that there are others out there who feel mine. -Dylan

It's been two days for me also. Everyone been telling me I'm not big but maybe I carry it well. I'm 276 and only 5'6, I think that's pretty big knowing in only pounds away from 300. I've been told not to do it by many but this is what I want.

Congrats on gettng through the prelim stuff....hopefully you'll hear something very soon!! I just got my approval today, and it's such a relief when you get that call!! Now I'm just waiting for the surgery date. My surgeon is taking the first two weeks of the year off, so I know it won't happen until sometime after that.

Congrats again, and I wish you the very best!!

Thanks! Congrats to you!

I just got a call Tuesday saying I was approved and it was 2 weeks to the day that I had finished my preliminary stuff. Now I am meeting the surgeon today for consult and to schedule a date. Excited but nervous! The wait seems to go so slow when your in it! Lol, good luck!
