Yesterday one of Dr. Mehta's research assistants, Megan, called me. She said that it has been approved. (study) She also said that this is not a "sponsored" study and that I would have to give them all of my insurance information.
I should be expecting some paperwork from them within 2 weeks.
I'm ready.

Megan also said that I am going to be one of the first patients in the study because I had an appointment with him prior to knowing he was going to do the study.

Will give updates.

kc :)

Great news! I called and then e-mailed Megan about a month ago. Still patiently ( :? ) waiting for them to contact me. Keep us updated and best of luck!

That is great news! I am on that waiting list too - somewhere near the top. I have spoken with Dr. Mehta. He is great - you will love him. Good luck and keep us posted.
