Talking I Got APPROVED ! ! ! ! !

Well today I thought, "Let me call the doctor's office to see if they submitted my referral for surgery". I call and I asked if they had submitted the referral yet and the girl told me, Yes, and it was also approved today too
OH MY GOD, what great feeling. All the work I've put into this and all the worrying is about to come to an end.

Anyway, I have my Physical Exam, EKG, and Blood Works for April 26, my second surgeon's meeting on the 30th. Bowel Prep on the 2nd of May and then BAM ! ! ! Surgery on the 3rd of May at 10:30am.

I almost can't believe it. This is just incredible.

Now I go on a liquid diet as of Thursday, April 19th. This is going to be hard, but not impossible.

DAMN, I'm excited. ! ! ! ! !

Pretty awesome feeling isn't it?
