Thanks, the waiting is hard. Got a call that the surgeon authorized my surgery, now it's time for the nutritionist's go at me. Will see how that goes or long it takes.

Pre-Op Testing is Done and All Good! My file is with the surgeon so I am waiting for the dietician and a date. Which comes first? Thanks Everyone.

Best wishes! I am still waiting and look forward to hearing your progress. Keep us up when you can.

Wishing you success. I am so excited for you. I am getting close to getting a date and can't wait to just have this done. I hope you will create lots of posts and support. It is so nice to have such good company...
