Newbie but it's moving fast!

Hi Everyone!!! I have been stalking this group for months but made the decision to become a healthier me on October 8. I had my first visit with surgeon on October 15. I also completed all my pre required testing by October 26. Got a call from my surgeons office today and they sent my paperwork into insurance company which is UHC. So nervous ????????????but excited ????????hopefully I can get a date of December if I am approved. No I am going to say when I am APPROVED! !! So if anyone can help with my nerves I will appreciate it. And of course I have many questions going through my head but I won't burdened yall with that lol. Look forward to talking with my new friends on this journey ☺
