All these approvals are making me so anxious. I just wanna get things rolling and do this already . Have my first apt with the surgeon august 29 and I also already scheduled my pulmanologist August 31. Baby steps baby steps.

I just can't wait to write that thread that I'm approved!

This site has been so helpful already I'm so glad I found it!

On another note I do get all nervous and think things like "oh thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, what am I going to eat if I'm sleeves by then". My hubs finally smacked me (not really) and just stated the obvious. He said one day I will be able to eat those things again just a very small portion. He also said eating like that put me in this position and he is so right!

I know the first few weeks will be rough but I can do it!

Happy Saturday everyone.

Everytime I learn of a restriction - like no caffeine or carbonates beverages it took me a couple days to accept it and then it seemed okay when I realized everything I would gain- a new life. You will get through the Holidays as there is much going on besides food. I am scheduled for surgery in 9 days and know this Thanksgiving/Christmas will be different and I am so thankful. Just try to focusing on the long term gains- that really helps me take each step in this journey.

Good luck on your surgery!

I feel your pain. On the 6 i have my secound appt with the surgeon n it seems so far away. And the worst part is i think they have a long wait for the surgery. I just want it to be tomorrow
