The insurance company submitted my paperwork and two weeks later I am approved! I am so excited but finally the nerves set in. I have been halfway through this process before only to quit for one reason or another. I finally had enough and pushed through the months of testing and craziness. I have never even been close to my ideal weight for my height. I can't even imagine it. I am so nervous for surgery. The biggest surgery I've ever had was getting my tonsils removed. I think what's worse is knowing that my family members are very nervous about it. I think for the first time in my life I am doing something that I want without letting anyone talk me out of it. I know it will take forever for December 18th to get here!

Yay girl...congratulations!!!

Thank you so much! I am really excited, then really nervous! lol

Holliwood1980, were all there at some point in time. I have this week left and the closer it gets the more nervous I get, but I'm still excited also. :-)

Hang in there what your feeling is normal.
