WHOOHOO HAPPY DANCE WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY CONGRATS TO YOU

That's big news. Good luck on your WLS journey. Take the pre-op diet seriously and follow it to the letter.

CONGRATULATIONS on your approval. Yes please take your pre-op diet very seriously. It will help you in the long run with your new tummy and your new eating habits.

Congratulations! Such a great moment...July 22 will be here in one hot second ??

Congratulations on getting through all the hurdles to approval!!! That is wonderful news! :)

CONGRATULATIONS! I am counting down to July 9th! I am also having a ton of different emotions as it sinks in but most of all I am SO SO SO SO SO excited for all of us! No required pre-op diet other than the day before but I plan to continue eating as healthy as I have been through the last 6 months aside from a couple food funerals (LOL).

I can only imagine how excited you were and still! Congrats and many blessing to you on your new WLS!

Congrats! You will love life after the initial phase!!

Congratulations! ? Wishing you an easy recovery and a journey full of success! ?

Thank you all for your good wishes and thoughts! ?

Congratulations on your approval! I just went to my last appointment and now I'm waiting for my approval. I just found out my doctor didn't send a letter to my surgeon, and I saw him last June. I'm practicing patience now and I'm not great at it.

@Sandra Neufelddid you go through the requirements of psych eval and dietitian visits before approval was submitted and accepted?

Yes, they would not submit for approval until all is completed, then 3 work weeks to wait for approval, then wait for a surgery date. I started in March.
