So my nerves are mostly calm but they keep flaring up on me at times. I can't believe it's almost surgery time. Seems like forever but time flew by lol. I am not worried about anything except not making it through! I keep telling myself that these thoughts are not really logical but the fear is real. I have let fear drive my life for so long that I am going to do this so I can actually live a healthy normal life. I am lucky, my family supports me and my friends so they will be there all the way. Somehow just venting my fears on here makes me feel better because we are all in the same boat. I will try not to post like crazy the next week or so up to my surgery date. Anyway if anyone wants to share their words of wisdom on getting through this next week and surgery it would be appreciated. I'm trying not to drive my family more crazy by asking a thousand times a day if they think I will be ok lol I think my bestie and my Mama are about to slap me if I ask 1 more time. So lol I come on here cause I'm sure some of you are just like me and understand this last week of presurgery jitters.

Hey I just got approved on Thursday!! My preop appointment is April 25th so I am also looking at a May date.

I just had my final visit on March 8. Submitted to insurance and waiting for the approval. Then we schedule the surgery. I'm nervous and excited.

I have Medicaid. BCBS family plan. Medicaid covers the surgery so I’m not sure why they said that. I just had my last appointment waiting on Insurance approval now.

I had my last appointment on 03/07 too. This sucks. I almost called the insurance company to see if my doctors faxed the documents today and it hasn’t been 24 hours. I’m all over the place

One if my fav youTubers!

I had surgery at UIC with Dr. Hassan in May 2017. Great experience all around, if you show them you’re committed and serious about taking this step then it will be smooth sailing. Everyone works together as a team. DM if you have any further questions! Best of luck.

We’ll be having surgery around the same time for sure, my last month of the diet is April, my last appointment will be on the 2nd, so I’m looking at late April early May for a surgery date.
