I want the gastric sleeve surgery so bad

I have an appointment October 2nd with my pcp to get a referral for my consultation appointment October 12th. I really really really and did I mention REALLY want this? I've done all of my research and even have a couple of friends who have done it and are so happy with the results. I have three small kids ages 4, 3, and 1. I want to do this for my health and my kids. I hope I can get this done before the year is over.

@@VeroN86 I'm currently in "the waiting place" waiting for a date. My surgeon's office needs to send my packet, but apparently are waiting on my surgeon to write a letter of recommendation for surgery. Supposedly that will get done this week and then after insurance approves, I'll get my date. It's like all these months I've planned how this all would go and then they dropped the ball and I've been done with my 90 day program since Oct 5th and it's not sent yet. I might go crazy waiting!
