Hey Diana, that's great! They didn't give you a date? Usually once you're approved, they give you a date, then your pre-op is less than a week before your surgery. At your pre-op appointment, they'll go over everything that will happen with you on the day of surgery. Then, this is the coolest...they sit with you and let you ask every question that's on your mind! My hubby and I were VERY impressed that they took the time to answer every little thing. Fortunately, I had been lurking here and reading lots, so I didn't have too many questions. You're almost there!

Reached my new goal of 130...and I think I want to stop losing now. "Stop losing now".Wow, I never thought I'd ever say that!
Looks like Donna is right though. My body doesn't seem to be done...

Grats to you! The approval is the most nerve wracking! When is your date?

I am so nervous!! I have not received a date yet. I should have one on 08/15 appt.

I definitely need to start writing the questions now, because once I am there, all those questions will be out the door!
