Yes!! I'm excited but scared.

I have many mixed emotions. I know this is a good decision but it's scary.

I can't wait I'm also nervous don't know what to expect did any one feel this feeling of being scared and happy at the same time, please let me know, wishing everyone success through your journey

I am having surgery Oct 12, as long as insurance goes through. I have this month's appt on Aug 17, then next month, I have my nutrition appt and 2 pre-up days to prepare, end of next month, I will start my 2 week liver shrinking diet, and I am getting sleeved in Murray, KY by Dr. Swain. I AM SO EXCITED.

I'm finishing my 6mo diet this month but was told my insurance (BCBS) doesn't count the first month so I'll actually have to go until September, ugh. But I have my psych evaluation this Friday and I need to get blood work done (can also be this weekend woo!). After my last 6mo diet appointment I can have everything submitted! I was originally hoping for a September surgery date but now it's looking like October. Either way I can't wait!!

I'm definitely looking for a buddy in this process. I'll be sleeved in Maryland!
