Dikotomy

I'm freaking out that my surgery won't be approved, although everything is pointing in that direction. I feel like I've invested so much into this decision -- told people (only close family), begun losing the weight the surgeon requires, attended pre-surgical groups, etc. I have a 41.5 BMI and the hospital seems pretty confident that it'll be a go. Still, it's torturing me. Anyone else having this problem? It may be another week or two before I hear for sure...

July 15th for me! Just found out today. I'm still waiting for final approval from insurance, but the hospital tells me they're pretty confident it'll go through. Reading these boards is hugely reassuring -- thank you, everyone, for sharing your experiences! I've been told to lose 12 lb before my surgery date and I'm 1/2 way there. Never been so motivated, believe me!
