New and nervous!

Hello!!

I'm an almost 49-year-old, pre-op sleeve hopeful. I made my initial surgeon visit 5/3. I've done my mandated psych eval. I've met with the nutritionist and in 2 days, I do my EGD. My understanding is that after those results are received, the surgeon's office will submit my preauthorization to my insurance. I've tried to make sure I dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's, but yet now I find myself becoming extremely nervous. What if they actually approve me!?!?!? Anyone out there find theirselves playing mind games while they were waiting?? Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I'm good to go for surgery this Thurs June 6th my only head game is that I keep wishing I could have done this lifestyle and weightloss on my own without having to resort to cutting my stomach off! so I got to the point where I am nervous about the surgery but excited of my new life ahead of me and now the excitement far outweighs the fear.

Your not the only one.. Ive been thru the am I making the right decision phase, to yes I'm doing this... Second guessing myself because I don't want to make a mistake, but I quickly get back focused and know this is right & what I want to become healthier.. Im excited, scared & ready all in one.. Lol

Its natural to feel these feeling.. Its unknown territory .. We'll do just fine.. Many blessing to u on ur journey!
