Oh, you are welcome! Good luck in your paperwork process...it can be daunting for some, so just breathe and know all will be okay. Some companies "seem" to automatically deny the first time and you have to go for round two. Others return approvals in less than a week. You just never know. It sounds like you have a good handle on things and a good shot at approval. Have no fear! LOL

Thank you for the compliment on my pics! I will admit I am proud of my progress...because I've worked very hard for it! LOL I have a little ways to go yet, before I go into "maintenance mode"...about 25 pounds or a comfortable size 8, whichever comes first. The 8 will likely come first. I exercise a LOT...I am into body building, lifting 1.5 to 2 hours a day, Monday through Friday...one body part per day. I am also an avid cyclist...I LOVE MY BIKE! I try to ride 200 miles per week...sometimes I do more, sometimes a little less. This weekend I am riding in the MS150, which is 150 miles in two days to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis research and assistance. This will be my biggest organized event to date, and I can't wait!

One thing I know...exercise is the reason I won't have to have any plastic surgery. Though a boob job would be nice! Exercise is the key! I started late...I hope you do better than I did...I started about two months after surgery and not seriously until five months after surgery. You can do it!

I'll be keeping you in mind and keep me posted as you go through the approval process!
