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?

Just submitted everything this very instant. Its been a rough battle filled process. Hoping the surgeon's office submits everything to my insurance company. I Have bmi of 47, diabetes high blood pressure and sleep apnea. A trifecta. I am so nervous that my life is now in the hands of insurance people who don't see this as a means of having a chance at healthy life. Im praying and hopeful. Does anyone know how long it takes for UH/OXFORD.

YAY!! I just got my date and it's October 10th! I'm nervous, excited, anxious and ready to do this

No, I decided to stay in the States and go with Dr. Umbach in Las Vegas.

YEA! I. Received my surgery date. It is October 22, 2013 with Dr. Phillip Price at Mt. Carmel Bariatric Center of Excellence, Columbus OH! I have been anxious and will probably have the jitters for a while. I am going to have my pre-op testing Oct. 10.

Left my 1st NUT appt and scheduled the last one for October 2nd..and from there he said it will be 1-1.5 weeks before I'm scheduled for surgery!!

Hip Hip Hooray! So I will definitely be an October Sleever!

I got a glance at the calendar today, 3 week to go! I had a mini excited panic attack. After a year and a half of waiting, it's finally going to be my turn
