Hi All I am Sheryl from MA. My surgery date is Sept. 1. I just found this ap today and am so excited to be able to communicate with people on the same journey ! I too had to be in a program for 1 year due to my insurance requirements. It actually took 14 months to FINALLY get the approval I needed in my program to meet with the surgeon and now things are moving quickly. Next week I have Pre- admin testing as well as Nutrition class ......I AM very excited and happy I am having surgery soon....but it still isn't feeling real to me. I have learned so much in this 1 year + of preparation for surgery and have made and continue to make the changes needed I AM READY. I guess I just feel I have been jumping through hoops to get to where I am , I am SO CLOSE to getting surgery now but nervous something will happen to make it not happen for me......maybe my insurance won't approve my surgery (though I have been told if my insurance has approved all my appointments thus far it is HIGHLY unlikely I would not get approved) , I also owe a lot $ for medical bills and having a hard time keeping up payments so I worry they could not approve me for that reason :/ , or test results not be where the drs want them to be :/ .....Yes ! I am a worrier :/ lol But believe it or not I am doing very well to not obsess and just let things happen atleast I just can't help but have those worries in the back of my mind......so right now I guess I am feeling surgery is SO close yet so far. But staying POSITIVE
