Waiting For Gastric Sleeve Surgery Approval

Just had all my info submitted for final approval, why do I feel like I just passed a note to the popular girl in my 7th grade class asking her to the dance, and hoping she circles "Yes" before she hands it back to me? :P

LOL, I know how you feel. I was on pins and needles the whole time waiting to hear back.... I started to annoy my nutritionist and the insurance company, vowing to call or email them twice a week until I heard back. It worked. ;)

and YES IT IS!! That's my battle cry for when I get nervous about surgery, or when I don't want to work out... I remind myself that I'm going to turn "From FATT to FETT" !!

Good luck with a quick approval. I got mine in less than a week and I found out before my surgeon's office did- I was the one who told them I was approved!
