Hello all!

Well, I'm in a bit of a shock. I finally completed my required 6 months of supervised dieting and sent in my insurance information on Tuesday of this week. When I faxed it over, I thought to myself, "Well, it will take awhile to get approved--I probably won't be able to have the surgery for at least a month or six weeks." No. I get a call on Thursday, "You're approved! When do you want the surgery?"

So, exactly two weeks after submitting my paperwork to the insurance company, I'm getting my surgery--October 7th!

I don't even know if I'm emotionally ready for it. First there was the shock, then some dread, but today, only one day later, I'm starting to feel excited!

I'm happy to be a member of the October brigade!

WOW--that is truly amazing! I wish my date could have come up that fast!

Congratulations!
