August 11 is a go

[MonicaEMT 35]

So I went out of town this weekend and my phone was acting a fool and had to be master reset. I realized I had a message and checked it. Well it was my surgeon office telling me I was approved by my insurance and August 11th will start a new life for me. I sitting here nervous, happy, anxious, excited, and scared all at once... Anyone else having these feelings all together????

@@MonicaEMT the first 6-7 months I was tired pretty much all the time because it took me a while to be able to get in the calories my body needed to function. Still, I had no complications or anything. Now I feel freaking amazing and I've lost almost 170 since surgery. I went a size 32 pants to a size 16 pants, and a size 3x-4x shirt to a large or xl shirt. Generally, this whole experience has been scary, difficult, tiring, confusing, and completely wonderful. It's been a whirlwind of change in such a short time, but all for the better.

Just noticed from another post that you're in the area. Would love to meet up. Who's your surgeon? I have Dr. Terracina.

So do I @@Shi-Shi80 and I must say I love his team. I email them with any questions and they respond immediately. I ever do walk-ins with questions and the nut answers. Sure we can meet up.

Awesome!! I'm so glad I found someone so close. All my family is out of state so I'm flying solo in this journey for the most part. You just made my day! :-)

Best of luck, and yes I definitely have mixed emotions going on! Excitement, panic, fear, the unknown. I'm about a month pre-op, but looking forward to a fresh start, a new outlook on life, and no more worries about fitting into restaurant booths, airplane seats, etc. You can do this!
