Now that you've been approved what is your next step to your goal? How did you feel after this step?

I was approved for my surgery about 5 months ago. However, at first they actually denied me and sent me back to my doctor. I was upset and wanted to know why. It was because I had visit the pysch department outside of the bariartric program. They did not know that I was under serious pressure with school and so many exams, work. But they did not know it was phone appointments. Afterwards, I was approved.... Glad those days are over for now. But I've learned to manage my anxiety by just meditating and gym.. I realized that I was more frustrated with myself because I allowed myself to gain so much weight and I could not do have of the requirements the classes I was taking at the time. That is why I've learned to start loving myself... I am so grateful! I will have more stories to come... please share your experiences!
