I have been approved now I am nervous as crap thinking hey this is really going to happen . I was so anxious calling BCBS asking about my approval then today they said YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED and now I am like wow. I did everything in less than a month all the way from consult to approval I was determined. I look forward to becoming healthier but I am not sure why so many emotions. I am suppose to find out my surgery date this Friday. My emotions is starting to take over a brand new me with bad nerves right now.

Congrats! I'm new to this site, but my insurance was approved recently as well. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week! Oh boy, it just got real! I immediately began to to think about how do I expain/share this news with others. Figured this site might be helpful.

Having surgery day after tomorrow. I'm so emotional. I rescued a dog in the street today and started crying for no reason! I'm also listening to sad music!!! I guess this is supposed to be normal from what I hear!!! Hang in there!!! I AM!

Hello,

I am new as well and I will be having my gastric sleeve on Thursday, September 26th. I'm feeling mixed emotions as well. I'm excited at what the future holds for me, but I am very nervous about the surgery itself. This is such a huge step and one I have waited a long time for. I'm 5'3" and 270lbs. I look forward to seeing a new me at about 135???? One can only hope. I wish you all the luck on your new journey. We can do this!

I was approved today also! See the surgeon next week and I will get my surgery date then...I'm so excited!

I'm not nervous like some people, I'm ready for this! Next Thursday can't get here soon enough!
