Hi all,

My insurance required a 6 month program before I could have surgery. As of Friday the 9th. I am done with all the pre op hoops including my pre surgery weight loss goal. My surgeon submitted my paperwork to my insurance to get a date. I'm so upset and so ready to hear what my date is. Is anybody else waiting to hear for their date also really anxious? I am hoping I'm not alone!

I find myself snapping at people because I'm so anxious. Part of me feels like this is too good to be true and something is going to go wrong. I think I need to know the day to feel at peace and relaxed. I'm so envious of people that have a date already!!

i was in the same boat you are in now...I got so much anxiety about being approved and getting my date that I had to literally make myself calm down...I was close to having anxiety attacks several times...I really dont have anxiety attacks, but I was getting so worked up that I just could not seem to calm downa and rationalize...and you know what? It was all for nothing! everything worked out fine, i was approved and now I have my date. I know that waiting is so difficult and sometimes you feel like the anticipation is going to kill you. It's almost like it's not really happening until you nail down a date. Don't worry!! You will get there soon enough! They aren't going to make you jump through all of those flaming hoops just to shoot you down! Your time is coming!

No i am not waiting anymore because I am 7 days post op now .. But I will tell you this I had to go thru the 6 month process too, I got tired , restless, discouraged ... As soon as I stopped thinking about it, the doctors office called with the approval & a surgery date for 2 weeks later.. Then I thought it was going by too fast & my nerves kicked.. Just relax they will call when you least expect it

I agree! I'm so anxious. Everybody around my is excited for me except me. It's like I can't be happy and excited until I know my date. But yea in so anxious and restless that I need to remind myself not to freak out and be so worked up about it.
