Woo!hHoo! I am finally aproved for my surgery! Took damn long enough! And I know there weren't as many hoops for me to jump through as a lot of you guys out there but I am SO relieved!

Next step set a date!

I'm getting banded! OMG I'm literally bouncing up and down at my desk! Better stop before my boss starts giving me the evil eye!

that is wonderful news!! congrats!

congrats mom007:lol:

I am so glad to hear that you're finally approved, that's great news. I see the surgeon on Monday and should receive my surgery date then, I am also so excited, this has been a long journey for me. Maybe we can go thru our journey together, keep in touch. Congrats again!!

I just set up my appointment for my pre-op visit on Wednesday. They told me I'd get my diet and surgery date then. I actually started SlimFast, cut out sodas, and went low fat-high Protein almost 2 weeks ago. This weekend I cheated a little. Had IHop and 3 Dr. Peppers yesterday, but this morning I'm back on track. I can already tell that it's working, my pants are fitting a little looser already!

So I'm hoping to get my surgery date soon, since I can tell them I already put myself on the pre-op diet. My ideal date is March 7th.

Less than 2 weeks! But we'll see, they may have other ideas.
