Hello all, I am posting to let everyone know that I now have my approval as of Friday the 28 of Feb. 2003. I am now awaiting my surgery date which they said I should have by end of the week which is today, so I am going to call and see if I can get a date today. I want to praise Jeff K. from the Ypsilanti BTC he & the rest of the staff was so helpful to me, pushing my info through so I can hopefully have my surgery while my wife is off on her spring break. I am getting very excited about my new life, and cannot wait till I can start shedding the pounds. And to everyone getting surgery today Im keeping you in my thoughts. KEVIN
