I have been waiting for about a month to get my approval. My surgeons office told me today it's going to take another two weeks to schedule my next appointment/pre-op diet/ surgery date. I was flooded with emotions when she told me I was approved. I'm nervous, scared, excited, grateful. Most of my family and friend are against this surgery. Thankfully my mom is supportive. Having four kids I think everyone is scared I'm going to die. It does cross my mind. But I want to be healthy for them. I want this hunger and tiredness this sluggish feeling to go away. I wish I could do this alone. I wish I could make them happy and not need this surgery. But I've done all I can do. I really think this is the best option. Keep my in your thought and any response is appreciated. Although I haven't asked any questions. I have no where else to vent without judgement.
