YES! I am less than a month out and I keep going back and forth too. Like maybe I should try counting calories again and THiS tiME it will work...but then I remember that for what seems like my entire life I've dieted, and nothing has worked!! This is just cold feet, but I will follow through!

I feel lucky with my insurance too- only 3 months supervised diet (ended up being 5 sessions), psych eval, and EKG- 100% covered. The only thing I'm super anxious about is the time immediately after the procedure. I don't have a high pain tolerance and I don't do well with anesthesia - BUT it'll totally be worth it! My stats- 240 lbs, 5'6" hoping to be about 140 in 18 months 😊 -
