Take a BIG breath first.....You have yourself burried in worry before you get started....Just breathe first....Deffinately agree with Cococat....We here have all been where you are and guess what, we are all here for each other....So when ya need us just holla....If your covered by your Insurance then you are 3/4's the way there....(lucky, I had to pay cash!).....Just don't take NO for an answer it's your health not some pencil pusher sittin at a desk...But right now that parts outta your hands, start getting your cupboards and frig preparred for your post-op phase.....I was nervous up to the knockin me out part and 4months later I'm still nervous....I know my job is to get 60-100grams of Protein a day, and what happens if I don't and all the BS that goes with post op....I give it a year before my nerves are settled a bit....So you are not alone there either....This is a HUGE life change if we weren't nervous about anything else that would do it.....You along with all of us have a great journey ahead of us, and it's life so nothin goes perfect but give yourself the chance to see how well you handle the obstacles if you have any....
Ask questions both of your doctor and all of us, cuz you know we will be honest with you and we are living it....Write stuff down that you want to remember.....
You will be fine, things will go fine with Insurance, prepare for you post-op....My doc suggested starting a journal, you may want to do that....
Hang in there, holla when ya want us....
Good Luck- kim

I was never much of a drinker, so it was about 6 months post-op before I tried a margarita. It didn't cause any problems with Frankensleeve. But I did get a buzz much quicker than normal. :-)
