After weeks and weeks of waiting I was finally approved this morning for my surgery!!!! Literally have tears in my ears I'm so excited! I'm so ready for this life style change! January 13th is the beginning of my life.

I love Dr. Ahmad, him and his family really do make you feel like one of their own. But being he's so busy that time tends to be limited. Ive met with his wife and daughter during the process also. Theyre all extremely supportive while my support system at home lacked. I went with Dr. Ahmad because I have two friends a co-worker and my father who were all operated on by him. I feel like it's pretty nifty. It's all about who makes you comfortable! Im sure everything will go well and you'll be in tip top shape in no time! Absolutely, a sleeve celebration is in order! :-)

How long did the approval process take and how tall are you and your weight?

It took like 2 1/2 week to get approved. I'm 5"4 weighing in at 230. BMI 39.
