Hello I'm totally new to all of this... I have complied W all my appointments and exams and I have been waiting for 4 weeks now for my medical coverage approval which i should have received a week ago. Since last week I have watched endless YouTube videos which have helped so much! Ty to all the brave you tubers your videos really do help. I just find myself extremely anxious, yet happy but nervous. Any words of wisdom?

There is no cure for the anxiety associated with bariatric surgery. But I would encourage you to read up on the mind-blowingly positive safety statistics of sleeve, and the extremely low complication rate. I hear from people who have had it and started out in a much tougher spot than I did, and while I have a tendency in life to think I am going to be the unfortunate exception to general principles, it was very hard to slip into that mindset before my own surgery. Think of how positive and free people who have had the surgery are, and remember that in a very short time you will be among them. Anxiety that you know is going to end soon also lessens in severity. Best of luck!

Thank you Sleevy Wonder ☺
