APPROVED!
Lisa you go girl! That is VERY exciting news! You must be thrilled. Did it really take four months to get approval? Wow. May 22nd is right around the corner. Get yourself together. Take lots of walks to get your body as fit cardiovascularly as you can. Get yourself in the frame of mind that you will be recouping for a while, and get your life set up for you to do so comfortabley. Buy all the stuff you need to eat/drink before hand. Breathe.
This is the coolest thing I have every done. I had my surgery one week ago and I've already lost over 10 pounds. Every time I step on the scale, it's lower. I know it will slow down, even plateau after a while, but it's sure helpful to start off with a bang.
Good luck Lisa. Keep us posted!
