For those of you that know the story.:cool: I was approved a month ago :thumbup:n was scheduled for surgery on 11/10 :teeth_smile:but when the time came they noticed I was approved for Gastric By-pass :thumbs_down:n not Lap band:thumbs_up: so my paper work was resubmitted about a week n a half ago n still no re-approval:sad_smile:. I went from going almost there:smile: to not knowing when:cry_smile:. My surgeon's nurse said more than likely we are looking at the 2nd week of January:unsure: (which is right after my 27th B-day:thumbup:) I guess New Year n New life in 2009:confused:. God I just want to hear that I am approved again:bored: n I will feel alot better. After that I could wait till Jan without a problem. At least I will be able to enjoy the holidays comfortably:blush:.

This is the pits! OK (me trying to cheer you up), at least you'll be doing this at 27 and not at 50 like me; after decades, 3 decades more, of yo-yoing and feeling like a diet failure! Hmmm (me REALLY trying to cheer you up)....cue Star Wars theme...come to the dark side Lively....2009 with the rest of us! (Been around my boys too long...OK, I'm obviously not awake yet...time for more coffee!)

still no 2nd approval but soon I hope. I already gave up on the Dec 2008 idea and working on getting my high hopes on Jan 2009
