I'm approved!!!!!!!

dotofoz

Unless the bariatric center sent in my stuff w/o me knowing, it only took a few days for approval! I have to wait at least 6 weeks (i'm on birth control) for surgery, but have to come up w/the $350 "membership fee" before they'll even schedule the surgery. Looking at maybe mid February....Thanks for all the good vibes you all sent and encouragement. :update:

:clap2: Congrats on your approval:clap2:...it feels good to know it's gonna happen. I went to a surgeon (Dr. Woodman)that charges 500.00 that I had to pay before getting a surgery date. I went right on and found me another surgeon...I didn't understand why I had to pay a fee for a support group and "other" activities when other support groups are free. My new doctor is Dr. Madan and no hidden costs. Good luck!

Sheila
Be BLESSED!!
