I got approved by my insurance. I am 5'4" and I weigh 203lbs. I have lots of heath issues so I am going into this very positive and hoping that this will help me get to a healthy place in my life and maybe some of my health issues will go away. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, fibromyalgia and anxiety. Anyone had the surgery and had any of these issues improve? How did you know which surgery was best for you? Did you try to lose weight during the waiting period? I just bought auger free hello, fruit cups, salad, veggies, Water etc. I want to do my absolute best on this journey! Any advice, comments, tips etc. will be greatly appreciated!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for replying! I am definitely getting started now. My insurance approved me. I have been to my PCP for one visit. And I have my surgeon appointment next week. Which if you can't already tell I am super excited about. Yesterday I started eating healthier. I had 2 salads and today so far I have eaten egg salad, 1 can mt dew (otherwise I will get an awful headache), and for dinner I am having a salad and some brocolli and cauliflower. After dinner I plan to walk at least a mile. I am determined to give this my all. My heaviest weight before now was 184 and that was 9 months pregnant. So the weight I am now with the scale hitting 200 or over has me very not happy with myself!
