Rain,
Congratulations on getting approved, you will probably hear from Leslie on Mon or Tue. If you don't, call the ofc on Wed when they take inquiries. How excited you must be, I remember I was. Good luck and let us know when you get a date. Best wishes.

Leslie does not work for Dr. Callery/Potts anymore. Lisa got a promotion as the new office manager, so you will probably hear from her. Good luck to you and welcome to the forum.
