Feeling Like My Surgery Is A LIFETIME Away

I've been working diligently on getting my paperwork together, and I have my first NUT meeting tomorrow. But, best case scenario, I get sleeved in late September. It seems SO. FAR. AWAY. 90 days of NUT, submit to insurance, get approved, get a surgery date. So, prob 4 mos at a minimum.

How are you handling / how did you handle the wait?

I am torn between being READY to lose this weight and wanting to start dieting and wanting to make every meal its own last supper, fearing the day when I won't be able to handle the foods I love. It's frustrating.

What did you do? Did the time seem to pass quickly? Should I be relishing my last days of gastrointestinal freedom, or working hard to make a dent in what I have to lose?

I have my final nut appt tomorrow.. From what my surgeon said once they submit to insurance it will take a max of ten days to get an answer.. Then they will schedule 2-3 weeks out.. I have been going through "the hoops" since January but it seems to have gone fast.. I'm just hoping that these last few weeks go smoothly!

I'm sure time will fly by now....
