I got my letter of acceptance today for the surgery. I have 4 more dietician visits then I meet with the surgeon. What stinks is that you can only go once a month. So it will be november before I meet with the surgeon.. Im getting more and more excited ... I knew going in that this could take up to a year. In november it will be 7 months not sot bad..

Jewels, this is great news. I've had to wait a year because in Australia, when you take out health insurance, you have to wait 12 months before you can claim for a "pre-existing condition", so I know how hard it is to have to wait that long. My waiting is up 22 October, I set my date on Thursday.

I know it seems like forever, but the time is going to pass before you know it. All the best on the last remaining months.
