I'm getting so close

[JosShavaughn 0]

I started the process in January of this year, finished my 6 month supervised diet, which I did nothing differently really, I've done my history and physical, I got denied the first time for my psychological evaluation, but went back last Thursday and got the call this Tuesday that I was approved. I got a call today saying I am only missing a nutritional consultation, which I go tomorrow for, once they fax my doctor the paperwork everything will be sent to my insurance.

I'm expecting surgery to be in 2-4 weeks.

Believe it or not, I'm starting to get really nervous. I know I have a great surgeon, my friend went through him, but this is the biggest thing/surgery I've ever done, so I am anxious to see how I will feel after I wake up.

Wish me luck that everything goes smoothly and happens quickly. After almost a year, I just want it to be over with.

It's totally normal to be nervous before any kind of surgery.

Keep us posted on when you get scheduled.

Nutritional visit went well, Monday my doctor will have everything to send to BCBS and then to wait on final approval!

Congrats on getting through all the steps and preparing yourself for this life-changing surgery. I have had many surgeries but was more nervous about this one than any other. (and this was the easiest one). I think it was because it was sooooo life changing. All I can tell you is that the surgery was a breeze.

Take care of yourself...follow all of your doc's rules. Just keep in mind why you are doing this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. There are many here to prove that. Keep us informed as to your date and how you are doing.
