Update on my pre-approval status

So the list of things I have to do:

- attend at least 1 support group meeting (going to on March 5th)
- get pre-op testing done (DONE!)
have a preliminary appointment with the dietitian (scheduled for March 19th)
- have an evaluation and get cleared for surgery by a Psychologist (scheduled for March 18th)
- complete my "weight loss journal" chronicling all my previous weight loss attempts (working on it )
- have a 5 year record of weights from my physicians (already working on this - 08 & 06 done!)
- Letter of medical necessity/clearance from my PCP (scheduled for march 10th to meet and discuss letter with pcp)

Things are moving along nicely. Im glad that my office has been so accepting of me working some wierd hours to fit in these doctors appointments. My goal is to have the NUT appt on the 19th be the last thing i need and then we can submit to insurance! I really want to try and get the surgery in April if at all possible!

For now... i just keep on chuggin! :)
