Approved But Not Scheduled

[Sara75 8]

First off I'm so excited I found this forum. What a great thing and I'll be using it often, I'm sure.

I've been approved for surgery but I'm waiting for the center to call with the actual date. They said it'll be in the next 30 days because my lab work is only good for that long.

I'm excited but nervous. I can't wait to lose weight but since I use food as a reward for myself and it's such a big part of my social life I know I'll have a hard time. Does anyone else feel the same?

I am a bored/emotional eater, so it's taken time to get used to that... I'm still a work in progress and occasionally find myself eating for those reasons. It's really hard to change our ways, but we can make it happen. Sometimes it may seem like an uphill battle, but I know when I get to the right restriction, I'll be okay

And, I know one mistake does not equate to FAILURE. Get up, brush yourself off and move on.

Just take it one day at a time

How exciting to know you are approved. I can't wait. I have one more appointment then I should find out if I am approved. I bordom eat too, but I know we can do it!! Good luck!

I am waiting to hear if I've been approved but they are planning on a June date. I am excited for you. I hope your clinic offers follow up support and classes and maybe that will help with re learning how to deal with food. Good luck!
