Approved!!!

Big AL

UHC came through and approved my band... I feel like a ton has been lifted off my shoulders.
They scheduled me for this Friday but I changed it to April 6th. Now I get to call back and see if I can change it back to Friday because of baby sitter issues and stuff.
Anyway, I'm in and on my way!! I'll keep ya posted.

Hey Al,

Congratulations! That is so cool.

UHC finally approved me too. The funny thing is I'm having surgery on April 6th. Are you my evil twin or something?

I'm pretty nervous right now, but also very excited. I bet you are too. Good luck to both of us!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I am rescheduled for this Friday. I'm REALLY scared about being put under. I'm trying to stay calm but with two very young boys it's a lot to worry about.
I'm just glad this will be over soon so I can get to the loosing weight part.
Good luck Becky!!!
