Hi Kristen! Congrats on getting that approval!! I bet you are so excited now!! Let the happy dancing begin!! What wonderful news to share with us!! Now you’re on your way to a new healthier life and a bright, new future! I hope you get a surgery date soon and then you’ll go through the dreaded waiting period again. I know it’s so hard to wait and all I can say is to try to keep busy!! It takes your mind off things and passes the time!! Good luck in your journey and keep us posted on your progress!! Big hugs to you today! God bless, DI from NJ, Lap RNY 12/09/03 -52 lbs
