I got approved Friday, got my 2 week diet, have labs and xrays tomorrow, dr. appt thursday, and my surgery on the 25th. Its going quick, but felt like forever before my approval. I am excited. I too was told the diet is to reduce liver size.

I went to the information session the last Saturday in August, so it hasn't taken long at all for me. I took all the first avail appts no matter what time, and that has made it go super fast. I was hoping to get it done this year, and now it is looking like early November. So exciting!
