Yesterday my surgeons office called to tell me that my insurance FINALLY approved my gastric sleeve procedure. I was super excited but now I'm just really nervous. Nervous about the procedure, nervous about the pain, nervous about what it'll be like after, nervous about how much weight I'll lose and how fast.... What if my expectations aren't met, what if this doesn't work???

Any advice, wisdom, or anything would be great!!!

Congratulations!!!!! All of what you're feeling is perfectly normal. You're going to do great!!

Congratulations on your approval! Funny how it is such a milestone for all of us, it was monumental for me and my nerves have been frayed ever since. I have a bit over 2 weeks and I am finally really getting excited. Best of luck to you on your amazing journey.

Congrats!!

Congratulations

Congrats on the approval. And I understand the nervousness, its like wow it just got real. But if you are like me this process has taken awhile. I had to go through a six month supervise diet program. Which help me prepare and research all the information I can about the sleeve. I'm still nervous but I know this is right for me. And any weight I lose is much better than the weight I am now. This forum also helps to answer any questions you might come up with. Good luck and stay positive it will work out.
