Congrats!!! Read as much as possible on this site so you will be absolutely ready. Good Luck on your journey!!

Congratulations! I was just approved also and scheduled for June 30. I'm hoping I can get it moved up sooner, but I still have all the evals to be done. Can't wait to keep up with your progress.

Wahoo! That is awesome

Congratulations! I just got my approval today. Now it's a mad scramble to set up all of the pre-surgery tests and medical clearences, as my surgery is on Jun 8th.

Congratulations!!!! How exciting! I'm just starting the journey. After a month or two of research, I am raring to go, but the next seminar my doctor is doing is on July 2 because he's on vacation and I can't schedule my consultation until after I attend the seminar!!!! Seeing posts like these for those who are ready to go just really gets me even more excited!

Please keep us posted on everything! Lots of luck next week!!!

I just finished the last of my pre-surgery tests. Surgery is on Monday - only 3 more days of the liquid diet. I feel like the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer & closer. I can't wait!

Congratulations! Good Luck on your Journey. I just received my approval 2 days ago. I am told I now have 10-14 days until I start the pre-testing phase. I can't wait for a surgery date!

So many approvals are awesome! I have a 7/7 surgery date and can hardly wait! I dont have any pre op work until 7/2 - so im guessing i dont have to do any special before hand diet???

Hey all

I got my surgery date too, 6/15/2009. I start my pre op liquid diet Monday. Can't wait!!!
