It seems like I started this journey so long ago.

It has taken 9 months from Seminar to approval.

I am so happy, but still impatitent, can't wait for April 24th!! I start my pre op diet on the 11th.

I stocked up on my Protein and vitamins!!

Now to get my hospital bag ready and do my spring cleaning at my house!!

Congrats...I just got approved yesterday!

Congratulations!!! We are well on our way!! My surgery is scheduled for May1!!

Congratulations! I just received my approval as well and am expecting a call this AM from the scheduler--- hopefully we'll get this done in the next couple of weeks.

The approval process was so long. I just thought that the insurance company would find some way to not approve me, but I worried about it for nothing.

Good luck to you on your surgery!

Yeah!! Congrats to you all. Isn't it so exciting, yet scary? I'm excited to finally get my Sleeve, but scary because I am losing my friend( food) and not sure if we will ever be cool with each other again

This is probably jusy fear of the unknown.

But it has come to this, I have to get a new friend, I hoping exercise will be my new friend!

OMG i feel this exact way!!

Congrats!!!

@betterthanbefore,

Thank You!!!!

I thought maybe I was alone in my love affair with food. Food has always been there for me, but now it's feels like it's not my friend in a way, it's an frenemy. I keep thinking... What if I try to eat my all time favorite and it makes me terribly ill. How will that make me feel. But then I tell myself, maybe that's a good thing. Then I read stories on here about "head hunger" I hope I don't get that. I'm going to try to really get gung ho about exercise and hope I go way too overboard with that, like I did with my food!
