Insurance Approved! Uh Oh...here Comes Worry.

On Friday, I got a call from the doctor's office that my insurance had approved the procedure! The date is set for 4/20. I am soooooo excited yet nervous as all heck. I am no stranger to surgery and I feel like I will be in good hands but I keep having nightmares about leakage and excessive vomiting. I am afraid I will be one of the few that this doesn't work for. I am afraid that I will lose all my hair. I am afraid I will become malnourished. I need a permanent way to keep my weight off and I believe this tool will be the best option for me. More than anything, I feel like I am a failure because as a trainer, I should have been able to keep my weight off. I am ready for this but all the worry is making me so anxious. What to do?

Congratulations!!!

Little bits

Congrats! You took the thoughts right out of my head. After waiting soooo long my time has come for surgery in April. I want this surgery so bad, but I'm worried about some of the side effects. I think we can just do the best to forge ahead, as for the hair thing, that really freaks me out, so I have ordered Silicia and Biotin supplements to take. I don't have enough hair to part ways with!!! We will be taking Prilosec and gas pills for nausea and gas pain, so I think we will be ok! The thought of possibly being to thin really intrigues me, Ha! I'm gonna take my chances with that one

I wish you Good Luck, and please keep us posted! I'm either the 16th or 23 rd of April.

I prefer the 23rd. Keeps mr out just past Mother's Day!! Take Care
