Hey everyone, so I got my insurance approval last week and am waiting to hear when my surgery will be. I literally just spent the majority of the day on this site, reading posts and information. I went from being excited, to anxious, to dreading, and back again. Can anyone offer any words of advice to get someone through the first couple of weeks? I know there is going to be a lot that I have to deal with (learning new ways of thinking and eating and coping and life!) I need to just take a step back and deal with it one step at a time. What did people find useful in the beginning?

I would try to have a baby, and then do surgery.

Patrick, How are you doing/feeling?

Hey everyone, Found out last Friday I got approved for my sleeve. Of course, I have to pay my portion before they will put me on the books. I managed to get my portion together and get it paid on Tuesday. They say I should hear within a week or two when my surgery date is! Anxiously awaiting.....

I'm glad it went well!!! Good luck on your journey!

Wow, I don't really have a lot to offer in terms of advice but just wanted to let you know I am sorry for your experience! Get another opinion asap! It could save your life! I understand it is out of pocket, but one consultation won't be that expensive and then you could go from there. your doctor sounds very unprofessional!
