You know, that is not a bad thing though. This is giving you time to prepare for the rest of your life, literally. get your ducks in a row first. I researched for a year and a half before I decided I wanted. After decideing it took me 8 mths to get MY crap together. My insurance was FAST! Just give yourself the time you need to slowly cut stuff out like smoking, soda, bad friends, etc. B/c if you wait until after you will want to have a nervous breakdown not being able to turn to food! The 4 mths pre-op for me I quit smoking, all soda, energy drinks, got rid of 1 friend, and set shit straight with my older sister. It has helped a ton!
