Getting Nervous,
My surgery is in about 2 weeks, and I start my nutrition class tomorrow. I'm starting to get the nervous fat girl problems! I'm worried I'll never be able to eat again or enjoy food anymore! is this true? and the holidays are coming up what do we do about holidays? This is another reason I wanted the surgery because I feel my life revolves around food lol Ugggh! I need to calm down.. Did anyone regret the surgery? or their decision to have the surgery?

Getting Anxiety
I'm the queen of awkward. ( Really I am) and I had the same problem. I was wondering how would I bring it up what would he say blah blah blah.. But my bmi is 40 and I have health problems, I needed a 5 year history of my obesity so I just awkwardly shoved the paper at him lol I was like uhhh can you fill this out? haha and he told me that he will support my decision but he thought I should try the new weight loss pill first before taking such drastic steps because he said I'm so young and have time to do so if the pills and stuff didn't work, but that is the reason I decided to do it because I am young and I don't want anymore health problems. so Good luck to you! lol * i know I kinda rambled*

Got My Date! Any September 10 Sleeves?
Why would they do that if you're a sleeve? weird! Hope you're still not there lol
-
First Time In Whole Process
Just because they want a bmi of 40 plus doesn't have to mean anything because my insurance wanted a bmi of 40 or 35 with an ailment, so maybe ms and your knees will help them push this through. Don't give up! stay strong! Keep on your insurance! Make them push it through! Best of luck to you!
