Meljp 36 Posted February 16, 2012 My surgery has been approved!! In one weeks time!! My husband had back surgery last year and it took nearly 6 months to get it approved... He was not able to work and sat here at home in pain for months... and mine gets approved in a week? I am going to take that as a sign from God that this is meant to be, for me!! Now I am scared $hitless!! wow.... 2 pussnboots and 2BThinAlways reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnbsleeve 87 Posted February 16, 2012 Mel, so glad you were approved so quickly! and yes, as things progress, it's totally normal to go back and forth from excited to afraid and even totally freaked out! This board really helped me with that. The DAY OF I was ready to run out LOL but I remembered everyone here telling me their stories and it helped normalize my experience. Best of luck to you!!! I look forward to reading about your progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted February 16, 2012 It's okay to be scared. Just do all of the research you can - get in as much counseling as you can - address the issues that have helped keep you overweight BEFORE the surgery, and go through the threads here AND TAKE NOTES! No kidding! notes will be so helpful! God bless and keep me posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
