It just got real!



Recommended Posts

I got my insurance approval today, one week after being submitted and am scheduled for surgery on 3/15. I requested it to be scheduled out that far (which isn't really that far) so I can get everything in order with my job. I am freaking out a little bit.

I FEEL YOU! I met with the surgeon this past Friday, and he told me the insurance had approved me that morning. Of course, a panic attack began in my chest. You couldn't have said it better: it just got real! When I left the office and was walking to my car, I started to cry a little. I'm really going through with this. My surgery is on March 21, the day before my 41st birthday. This is my gift to myself.

We are practically sleeve buddies. It doesn't feel real yet. When the nurse said "You're approved, let's schedule your surgery" I said What? Shut up. I don't think it's even fully hit me yet.

@@JennWeb congratulations! In my experience the time just flew by - and totally normal to be freaking out a bit! Best of luck to you, you are in the right place for support and to help you get prepared for your surgery. Best of luck!

Thank you. I think the nervousness is overshadowing my excitement. I know everything will be fine. I just want to get past the actual surgery part.

Congrats JennWeb! I am right there with you, I'm scheduled on 3/21 so I can get things in order at work as well. Plus I have a hubby who is so afraid I'm never going to cook for him again! LOL I'm excited and nervous about how it's going to go. I know 2 people who have had this done and one is gain back and the other is a slow loser so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Just remember that everyone is different. I also know a few have done a wls and they all have had different outcomes. I think for us being a part of a group like this we have so much support and I am so grateful for that. We are going to do awesome.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
