I just heard from Dr Fowlers office and I was approved today.  I am so excited but have a little scary feeling.  So I still have to go thru all the other appointments.  I'm sure my surgery won't be until January.

Thanks for everyone's posts and positive thoughts.

 Although I am still a pre-op WLS patient, I had done a tummy tuck and liposuction through Dr. Schlesinger prior through traditional weight loss.  I would not recommend Dr. Schlesinger as my tummy tuck did not come out even, leaving me with a 4-5 inch golfball almost fat pocket on my right side.  I am hoping to fix that one day, possibly after WLS.  Good luck!
