I am in the very early stages of the procedure (pyche eval done and first nutrition class on Tuesday) - I am excited about the possibility of getting my life back but also a little scared of the unknown. I have fought this weight all of my life and I am so tired of the fight - please tell me it is all worth it?

I just booked for October 7 with Dr. Ortiz in Mexico.

Hi everyone! I just got my official surgery date today it's for October 1st. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Can't wait to begin my new journey. My birthday is also in October. Cigna was pretty good when it came to approving it. They took roughly 10 business days.
