Thanks so much for the replies! I honestly thought everyone would tell me I was crazy for considering it. I think I will just wait and see how I feel. The ticket wasn't that expensive so it's not a big deal if I don't get to use it! I really do appreciate the input!

I was first dx with migraines at age 6 so I have been dealing with this for a very long time. The only thing that helps me is Relpax. It only helps if I take it immediately upon feeling that first twinge or having the first visual aura. If I take it too late, the only thing I can do is take a prescription pain med and go to sleep in a completely quiet, dark room. Talk to your dr. about the newer prescription meds as there are several to try. Keep trying til you find the one that works for you. Good Luck.

I was so excited about the thought of surgery. I have researched for years and was comfortable with my decision. Then, I got approved. It became so real (I was somewhat doubtful I would get approved) and I am so anxious all of the sudden. I don't think I am nervous about the actual procedure (my husband is a dr. and I have a lot of faith in modern medicine), but I am scared of the major changes I know are coming in my life. I do not know anyone who has had weight loss surgery to talk with. I am going to my first support group this week, so I am sure that will be helpful as well. Thanks for letting me vent....I think it is somewhat therapeutic just to type out my worries!

It's good to know my anxiety is somewhat normal! Thanks!

I am having the same feelings. I don't have a surgery date yet, but I just got approved and the anxiety hit me. Good Luck!

Just thought I would say hello. I am in Murfreesboro too. This is my first post. I am very early into the process, and honestly am not sure whether I will get approved by my insurance or not. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I am also going to MTMC, but haven't met with a specific Dr. yet. Dr. Eckles did my initial seminar. I am doing my psych and attending support meeting next week. Have had a physical and am waiting on labs and letter to be sent to insurance company. That's about it. It's good to know there are people nearby that have gone through this process!
