10-19-06 well the day came and went no surgery there was a bunch of stuff my pcp from ga, didnt do prperly so i have to do three months of suppervised diet started in sept . so not to much longeer to go 2 more months and we re submit the paper work and hopefully get approved this time arround my advise to anyone doing this dont rely on your doctor remind him to right everything down even the smallest thing like a scratch it will help you with your approval beleive me it matters if your doc rights it all down he may be the best doctor ever butt when his notes are whats standing inbetween you and the approval to safe your life remind remind remind no matter how aggrivating you think your being its there job and your life so dont give uppp and just hope there doing it no they are its your life on the line not theres....
