Alright guys, just like the title suggests, I have finally been approved! Just waiting to hear from my surgeons office to see how much I have to fork over and be able to have a date set. I have to admit, this is pretty exciting. Just at arms length it feels like.

Way to go Texas! Wahoo! Next week I have the final follow up appt (18 mos) and my life has been changed forever, have not regained a pound, and have been transformed physically.

that's great VDB, I'm glad to hear man. I am looking forward to that myself. I think I have all the tools I need to get this started.

Congratulations! Are you paying for this on your own or just waiting to see what the copay is going to be?

Congrats, fellow Texan! You will be amazed at how different things will be as you progress after surgery. It has been genuinely life-changing for me. Good luck!

I'll be going through my insurance. Just received a phone call this Friday afternoon, I'm looking at $860 for my surgeon.

Everyone, thank you very much. Yes, I am psyched, I'm excited and definitely cannot wait until a date has been set. I'll be expecting to take the full month off work, I don't know that I will feel that I need it, but if the surgeon is requesting it, I'll definitely go for it. I need the time off and I'll be able to be more active on here.

Congratulations! It is a huge step, but one I am glad I took. I think you will be too. Good luck with it!
