So I haven't gotten insurance approval yet. I have 2 more appointments before they can submit my file. But I have 2 big events coming up next year, Church Anniversary formal banquet in April, and one of my best friends is getting married in September. I am SUPER excited about the surgery because for the first time in about 17 years I will be able to put on a formal dress (or any dress) and take pictures with confidence.....full body pictures! I know I can't predict the size I will be by then, especially April, but I am hopeful and determined to do well! I want to be in a FAB gown with FAB HEELS (I was the girl that wore 6" heels almost every day!! I miss it!!).

Am I too excited too soon? How did you feel when you made the decision to have WLS?

I don't think you are too excited. That sort of enthusiasm will be great in helping you do what you need to do! Keep up the positive attitude!

Thanks @@SuperDave!! BTW You have done an awesome job! Congrats!!

I'm feeling the same way I also have two more nutrition classes to go but I'm super excited about being healthy and sexy all at once.

Your excitement is both something to be encouraged and enjoyed. You have made a very positive step in your life that will not only make you look fabulous, but will improve your health beyond measure.

Hold on to the excitement, nourish it, and keep it as long as you can. Your excitement will be your inner motivator.

I didn't have that kind of excitement till right about now! I will be four weeks post op on Monday, and as of my weigh in this morning I am down 31.1 lbs. WOO HOO!!

I truly feel like I can do this, and that I will do this. I am fitting into clothes in my closet I haven't worn in years (so motivating!!) and I just overall feel better.

SO now I can say I am excited! I was so worried before the surgery of my recovery and exactly what to expect (of course I always think the worse) that the excitement wasn't there. I couldn't visualize myself smaller, but with this weight loss so far I can!!

So like others have said keep that excitement going you will need it in the very early stages after your surgery!! Keep posting too cause that excitement can be contagious!!!!

I keep saying I can't wait for next year!! I have a feeling it's gonna be a GOOD one!!

Good Luck Laurenella82 along your process!!!

Thanks! Good luck to you too and congrats! I'm so ready for the new me! I was going through old clothes yesterday and have designated one side of one of my closets to clothes I want to get into again (or for the first time). It's really motivating to open the closet and see that!

I remember when I got the call I was approved I cried I was so happy... It all went so fast and I could not schedule my surgery fast enough. Everyday I get more excited about the transition my body is going through. Im so happy and am greatful I was able to get this done. Good Luck

No it is never too soon to be excited.This will be one of the most amazing events of your young life.I wish this could have happened to me years ago.You are going to know what it feels like not to be under the yolk of excess weight.Enjoy it pretty little miss and buy yourself a devine little dress to hang on the back of your closet door and look at it every day because soon you will be able to wear it.pippinleicester.
