Never feel guilty. We all need this and we're adding years to our lives and we'll all be more healthy. This is a good thing!!!

Why do u feel guilty?

Wishing you the best charlotteweb. I would never try and tell a person how they should feel and I know you're scared. But, try and look at this as a new beginning. We have all wanted this soooo bad. You're close and almost there! Don't let anything stop you!

The obsession is normal. We all want this for ourselves so bad. Personally I eat sleep and day dream about this whole process all the time. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. They require 6 consecutive months of supervised diet. However, I just found out from them they they will waive this requirement if your BMI is over 50 at your initial weigh in through whatever Bariatrtic program u enter. So my diet was waived because I was over the 50 BMI. We have to pass a mental health assessment, meet with a excersize physician, NUT and meet any weight lost requirements made by the surgeon. I'm home free on all accounts. I just have two more appointments I have to get through. A medical clearance appointment on 9/28, and my reevaluation appointment with my surgeon on 10/9. If I'm cleared on those and have gained no weight I'll get my surgery date. The insurance specalist told me my process would be much smoother due to me having the diet waived. Just make sure you save any and all weights you've done and all communication from the Bariatrtic people. Wish u the best of luck.
