Great news, Troy.  Check that frustration off your list.  Good luck with your testing donors.  If they smoke tell them to stop.  If they are overweight for their height ask them to start getting their weight down.  The clinic will require these things, but they 'cannot tell them to stop smoking or lose weight'.    Prepair yourself for a worldwind of emotions!  Congratulations!!!!   :yahoo;   You're on your way!!!!
