Received insurance approval today!

I am super excited and scared. I will be scheduling the surgery tomorrow. It has been such a long journey to get here! I never thought this day would come. I have about 80-100 pounds to lose. I am concerned about loose skin and needing plastic surgery to fix it (which I can't afford). I am 5'9 and 245 pounds. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated!!

Thanks:)

    Congrats on the approval! Don't stress about things that may or may not happen especially when you have very little control over it! Just focus on getting to a healthy weight by following your plan!

    You'll be flying on that high for awhile. Congrats! Just take it one day, one step at a time and you'll be fine. It's worth everything you have to go through, I promise!
