I knew that this 6 month process to approval would keep me busy but geesh I've been on this journey 1 month and will have completed 8 appointments so far in one month...looking forward to my Nut visit tomorrow then only 5 more too go!!! These next five months hoping they fly by because I'm already over these appts

It can definitely seem overwhelming at times! I have a bunch of appointments to knock out prior to surgery also. I can say I've learned quite a bit, so it has been a positive experience. Wishing you well on your journey.????

Hang in there darling! I just had my surgery (sleeve) last Friday and my first appointment was back in march....I couldn't believe the time had finally come because march to October seemed like an eternity.

Try not to obsess over the surgery date and just push forward. I tried to think of it as, "well I've got the next 6-7 months to be as fat as I want, therefore I can't feel cheated once I finally have my surgery." Try and find the silver lining!

It's gonna make the moment when the day comes SOOO much more worth it.

Do your appointments and focus on life. Feel all your feelings of how you feel in your skin now for the next 6 months because it will all change after that!

Can't say I'm a guru of any sort but optimism (or the attempt of) gets me thru!

Good luck!

@ MissMellyMell yes I started last month and I'm looking to have surgery in April so I know it will be worth it.. It just require so much footwork inbetween time..Good news is staying busy helps the time pass too. But good luck with your journey as well☺☺
