Waiting for approval

Ok I have sent all my information in, now just waiting for approval. I still feel like I don't know much so I have been reading this website for hours. I am scared because I think I will get turned down......I'm a fat heathy person. My BMI is between 39-40.......but I have no help issues. I do smoke, I hear I need to stop doing that. Anyone else in my shoes?

Shelli....I have already had my surgery...I did have other health issues but there are some on the board that have had very few if any and still qualified for surgery...A high BMI is serious enough of a problem to need to loose weight... It's great you dont have any speakable health issues yet other than the weight.....I wish you all the best and will be praying for you!!! God Bless....Hugs..Tammy H.

How long ago did you have it? How long were you down for? Will I be off work for a long time

Shelli that is great. we will help keep our fingers crossed for you. Keep coming to the board there are lots of people on here that are where you are or have been or will be and some can help you , and some you can help. That is what we are all here for is to help one another.   Welcome. Jan

Now the wait begins, you may be one of the lucky ones and gets the call when you least expect it.  I'm just opposite, I'm approved and now I'm meeting with doctors. Trudy
