Today is a great day! My surgeon, Dr. Jacob, just called to tell me that I've been approved for lap-band surgery. He said that this is the fastest anyone he's worked with has been approved. I can hardly contain myself. Next, I have to schedule a pre-op visit at which time I will schedule my surgery. That means that I can have surgery in March, which is when I wanted to do it. Wow! My heart is beating fast and I can't stop smiling. This is a great opportunity... one I wont let slip through my fingers!
