Default Finally approved

After what felt like a lifetime of waiting, I got a phone call today saying that I was approved!!!! I didn't know what to do with myself when they called me to tell me. I have to call in to schedule a surgery date. Just some info, I have pacificare and I currently go to healthcare partners....with my insurance there was no need for a supervised diet. The sole requirements were bmi of 40 + , weight history and a cardiac clearance. I wish there was a better word for excited....I'm sooo excited and sooo ready
