Just venting a bit.

I'm still in the surgical weight loss class. I have 2 more left, then the wait for a surgery date. I'm stressed because A LOT has decided to go on in my life right now and I'm just trying to keep myself afloat right now... I figured I should find a way to talk to people who understand what I'm going through. So we'll see how this one works out.

If it makes you feel any better it took me almost 9 months to get everything done and on the schedule because of insurance and my hectic schedule. There are a lot of people in the same boat as you. Keep your head up. I think the harder it is to acheive something the more it's worth in the end and when you look back and see how far you come you'll also realize how much succeeding in this journey means to you. I actually was pissed when I found out my insurance had just changed their policy on baraitric surgery and required 6 months diet and execrise consultation before getting an approval. With my surgery date coming up on Monday the 15th I now look back and am glad I had the extra time to get my head wrapped around this lifelong change I was about to enter into. Don't worry you'll get there. Hang in there you have friends out here to reach out to. :) Best of Luck. Brian

Thank you so much for your kind words... Best of luck with surgery! I hope everything goes great. I still have a few months to go, my estimated surgery time is end of July to early/mid August. Which sucks job/school/life schedule wise, but I'm slowly coming up with a game plan.

Between work, the kids summer sports and vacation, I decided to wait until my kids went back to school and we finished what we had planned for the summer. This surgery wasn't something I wanted to rush into and I'm very happy to have between now and Aug 5th to gather as much information as I can, prepare physically and mentally for post surgery and enjoy the summer activities with my family. Step back, breath and try to enjoy the time between now and your surgery. Best of luck.
