Starting my Journey

Hello all...

I am wanting any and all feedback about this process from beginning to current...I am a divorced father of 1. I have limited support emotionally, but have decided to go forward anyway! I feel like I can not know enough. Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated. My first appointment is 3/17/16 and I could not be more excited, nervous, scared, happy...My emotions run the gambit! Thank you all for your input...

Hey there! I am in the same boat as you are. I am a single mom and I have my first appointment this coming Friday. I am so excited, but scared and nervous about the insurance requirements-I am hoping that the nurses will have some good news regarding the vague info that the insurance company has provided. In the meantime, I have just been going through all the posts on here soaking up knowledge on every topic that I can find. There is a lot of great info here! Good luck with your journey!

Welcome! I was so nervous about this journey too, but this forum has been so amazing. I'm towards the end of my consultations. I am hoping to start the final insurance approval beginning of next month. This is a place to ask questions and receive support. If there is a support group in your area I highly recommend it. I was really uncomfortable with the idea of a support group. However after my first meeting, it was a huge help. Good luck to you! [emoji4]
