It will happen when it is meant to happen. Patience and polite persistence will get you to your goal, but it does take some time to get through all of the pre-op assessments.

FinallyFit50s 202 Posted March 17, 2016 @ I had my first consultation a couple weeks before my 50th birthday. My insurance required a six month program. It was and still is one of the best things I've done for myself. I LOVE being fit and healthier in my fifties! Happy early birthday!!!!!! Congratulations on starting this journey. There is a wealth of wisdom and help on this site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I feel nervous as well. My biggest concern is living with a normal person when I cook 100 percent of meals.
