Omg the closer I get the more excited I get! My 4th of 6 appointments is in 2 wks and then I am 2 months away from surgery! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡YAY

Ok......you need to take it down a couple of notches. They're gonna need to put you in a straight jacket for the surgery.

Go to a movie or take up a hobby. Get your mind on something else. It's not likely to be a big joyous celebration. It's gonna be some difficult adjustments and a long tedious effort. Try to stay focused and relaxed.

Try some of that Zen, Yoga stuff.......

Thanks for your input. I promise I'm not freaking out. 6 months is a long time to wait and I am excited to reach the day I am fully committed to this and the surgery is completed. I have no delusions as to how much effort is required. Though I do not have first hand experience as of yet, I do have 3 people at work who have undergone this procedure. I'm plenty focused and in reading a lot of posts on here, I am not alone in expressing excitement for getting to my surgery date. Where are you at in all this? What surgery have you done? How's your success? All the best to you! -Jan

I am just waiting to hear back from my insurance company. I finished all my pre op testing and requirements a few days ago and now all I have to do is wait and get a date!

That's so cool. I know you're going to do fabulous!

I'm totally with you!!!! I finished my six months of insurance required classes on May 1st.... I met with the doctor on Wednesday and I have a few more hoops to jump through before surgery but the doctor said I should be having surgery in about a month.... I'm crazy excited!!! Just waiting for the call for my physical now!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. The post about me needing to take it down a notch kind of bummed me out a little. I'm not obsessed. I do other things. But in here I thought I could express my excitement and not be ridiculed. You must be getting pumped up! I need to still do a few things. I have one appointment with the nutritionist required and that's Friday. I have blood work they haven't ordered get and chest xray. Then just 2 more follow up appointments.

I don't think you need to take it down a notch....the insurance hoops can be a lot depending on your insurance company... I started my journey last September, so the though of now being so close is crazy exciting. I have to calm myself almost daily as I'm waiting for calls or appointments....I definitely wasn't this excited until my classes ended...but now I think about it daily... Which can be good... I'm very confident that I'll be fully prepared when the time comes

I don't have classes. I'm almost done with all of my requirements though so that's exciting. I'm sure I'll go through a lot of emotions before this is all done. Just like everyone else. Doubt and fear was last month after my gallbladder was removed. But I moved past it and came back to wanting this really bad again. Maybe that's why I'm so excited.
