One week away!

[cantseemytoes 49]

My surgery is one week away... June 3rd.

I'm at a loss for words. I'm excited but scared. Happy but anxious. Confident but worried. It took so long, but it's come so quick. I think I might be going nuts :-) .

Don't get me wrong, I know this is a good thing, and exactly what I need, but it's kinda surreal... know what i mean?

Best of luck with everything. Keep us posted with your experience . ..I'm still going through approval process...I'm going through the 6 month supervised visits and my interest is fading

Hang in there. My requirements began with an orientation meeting that led to 12 weeks of classes (once a week). Yes 12 WEEKS! Plus it was extended by 2 weeks because we started right before thanksgiving and had 2 days off due to the holidays. Then meeting with Drs, sleep apnea study, psych eval, more Drs, PCP final approval, meet with the surgeon, and it's finally here!

It'll come. Just takes time.

I just had my surgery yesterday. I can relate to being nervous. It was done and in recovery before I could say boo. I'm home and sticking to the plan. I couldn't be happier. I'm so excited for you! The new you! Yah!!!

I'm one week away too!! And feeling the exact same way. It's nerve-wracking but yet I'm still so excited! I can't wait for the day to come but I'm scared for it as well.

I take time each day to look at old photos of myself from over the years and it makes me feel more excited than anything. I also like to check on here for before and after photos to help gear me up for the big day. I honestly cannot wait to actually have an "after" photo!!!

Best of luck to you on June 3rd. I'll be right behind you on June 4th

That's a great idea! I'll have to pull up some old albums. Not just the ones of myself overqwight, but the ones from before I gained all my weight. It'll be a before, after, before, and finally set of pics. Thanks for the tip!

Oh... and best of luck to you too. Keep me posted. Where are you located? I'd like to keep in touch through the next year. :-)

I'm located in CT. I'd love to keep in touch! It's nice to have a place like this to find support from people experiencing the same thing.

Where are you from?

Where are you from?

I'm in Southern California, near LA. That's the good thing about modern technology, it makes it possible for people so far from each other to communicate easily.

[SuperSleeveMe 19]

Yes, definitely! Well keep in touch and keep me posted on your progress! I'm hoping to have wifi in my hospital room afterwards so I can keep this handy app on hand in case I need some support

@@cantseemytoes thanks so much for the encouraging words. I would have preferred 12 weeks straight than once a month that way it will be more relevant. Sometimes I forget that I'm going through this process. I'm curious what type of insurance do you have or is it self pay?
