My sleeve surgery was just approved... August 16th is the big day. Lapband did not work for me and has been nothing but trouble. I am scared and excited to have this surgery. I can't explain why..... Just very scared, those " what ifs" have alway gotten me. :/

Congratulations! I found that thinking about the "what if I don'ts" helps me when I am feeling fearful or anxious. What if I don't have this surgery then....I can't chase my kiddos....feel better physically (hip and back pain)....die early from a heart attack walking up the stairs. Morbid maybe, but it helps me. Good luck with your surgery

woo hoo

you've been approved

your new healthier, happier long life is ahead of you

you are not the first, and won't be the last that has conflicting emotion pre-WLS

most/me/all have been there done that

scared/anxious/nervous et al - goes along with having any surgery

and this particular surgery ...........starting a new life - can be nerve racking

wishing you all the best

good luck

Ooooh me too im august 14th SUPER EXCITED!!!

Now I'm confused. I got my phone call on Monday 6/18 from my surgeons office sayings surgery was approved but in the mail today (6/21) I got a letter from my insurance company date 6/13 saying that they want more documentation and if they don't have it by 7/27 then they can't do anything?!? My surgery is scheduled for 8/9. I guess I will be calling my surgeons office on Monday to make sure everything is on track. I want this Lapband out :/

Ooooh me too im august 14th SUPER EXCITED!!!
