I’m scheduled for 12/18! Yikes!

I’m in Basking Ridge, schedule for 12/18. Suuuper scared and excited!

I’ve been fatty Patty my whole life. I’ve toyed with the idea of getting weight loss surgery for years but have always been really scared. Frankly, i still am, but i think it’s time. I️ don’t have major body or self esteem issues, but I’m ready to stop hearing “you’d be a knockout if you lost 100 pounds” or “you’re really pretty for a big girl.” I’m excited to start this new part of my life & to finally be that ‘knockout’ on my 30th birthday next December. I’m 5’6, 315 and currently doing all of the pre-op appointments to [prayerfully] get a insurance approval through CareFirst Administrators. Has anyone used them? I have done the nutritional evaluation, the psych evaluation, got my PCP to write a great letter of medical necessity & had my upper endoscopy. With the exception of the really creepy psychologist, all of my doctors have been a dream. I have a sleep study scheduled for Friday. I’m freaking out because I’m nervous as HELL that my insurance will deny me. I’m not sure why i feel that way - well, i have the worst luck in life lol, but my BMI is 50 and I’ve done all of the requirements. I don’t really have a reason to be worried other than my own craziness. And I’m really nervous about getting the surgery period. I’m just a nervous wreck. Lol! I love reading all of your stories and can’t wait to be a contributor! Xoxo, P [emoji177]
