Christina congrats on finally getting approval. Be grateful that you have an approval in your lap. There are many that have fought a lot longer then a year to get where you are now. Take it all in stride. I will be rooting that you get an re-birthdate soon.

im not there yet it is not a approval just yet it just means that i have a plan that has coverage on it .i still have to get the approval from them to have wls done but its one step closer BUT the big hurdle will be if i cant get a date for may or first week of june im going to have to wait till september when my parents get home from alaska cuz they are commercial fishermen and are gone mid june to end of august so i hope ill get a date in may
