amiclvrt 4 Posted October 24, 2014 I have 2 wks until my first seminar for WLS @ Madigan AFB. it's so hard waiting because I just want to get going with all the steps I have to go through. And, I had to wait an extra month because the first seminar I was scheduled for in Oct. was cancelled. I'm hoping to have surgery in Jan or Feb. I'm ready for my new life!!!

Ethomas15 22 Posted October 24, 2014 @@amiclvrt welcome and congratulations on your decision for wls! I am in the beginning phases as well...and waiting is the hardest lol. I think I super obsessed about 2 wks before my seminar and died down a tad about 2 wks after....I had my seminar the 1st of October and had my first supervised diet appt yesterday I have six months of that and an additional 2 months for some specific stuff until I can submit to insurance so congrats on maybe January or February surgery lol!! If you need a journey buddy I'm in the beginning stages with ya so feel free to holler at me! I am scooping up all newbies like me for support haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amiclvrt 4 Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks!! Let's be friends for sure. Thankfully I only have about 2 months of stuff after the first seminar and I am already approved by insurance. I'm so ready to get started. I have made a lot of the changes they want this past year and I feel like I am totally ready to embrace this new life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ladiec2 74 Posted October 24, 2014 @@Ethomas15, @amiclvrt....I was the same way. After I had my first Oct. 9 surgeon appt., I breathed, ate, slept and dreamed about my next appt. which starts the official process. I know ai called that office about 5 times with questions and they were always polite and helpful. I am sooooo excited now. I stay on this site to get as much info, ideas and suggestions as I can. I hope to have my surgery in Feb. 2015 as well. Good luck to you both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ethomas15 22 Posted October 24, 2014 @@Ladiec2 I think it's just human nature to be obsessive about this kind of stuff but I think it puts a whole new element when you take people who have dealt with something like weight for so long and imagining a whole new life! Its crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
