  7. I am excited, scared and anxious! I want to begin a new chapter and be successful. I am afraid I won't be able to do it. Is it normal to feel this way. Are you able to eat normal food after you heal?
  8. As long as your BMI is 40 then you should be good
  9. That is great. I am hoping to hear something soon
  10. Congrats still don't know my surgery date yet???žso looking forward to a new chapter and healthier life
  11. I am hoping within the next 2 weeks. Today I am going to call to set up my pre-op appt. I have my surgical clearance and all lab work done. I know I can't wait to start this chapter as well. I am looking forward to shopping in regular stores again and for seats not to feel so small. When do you think you may have surgery
  12. I am so excited after a long day at work and then 3 hrs of class, I came home to a letter from my insurance company stating they approving the surgery. I am so excited but equally nervous! I want to make the best decision for myself and to be a great role model for my kids. Hoping to make my pre-op appointment tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed for me
  13. I feel the same way. My surgery has not been scheduled yet but I am hoping for June. I just met with the nutritionist. And I am freaking out about not being able to do the diet. I don't want to fail. And I think it hit me more because she told me how they submitted the request for the surgery to my insurance company. I am so nervous
  14. Today met with the nutritionist and psychologist. All seemed to go well. They sent the request into my insurance. I am starting to freak out a bit. I am so nervous about following the liquid diet and then when introducing solids back in after the surgery. I am so scared!!!!!
  15. I am nervous!! I just did my blood work and have my appointment with the nutritionist and psychologist this week. I am hoping this will give me a new start at life and I can be a positive healthy role model for my daughter. Just wondering how quickly do you see weight loss? Plus any suggestions on how to make post op an easy transition? I am hoping for an early June surgery date
