The "WAITE" is on!

Soooo... First time posting ... My surgeon's office (Beltline Bariatrics- ATL) submits my paperwork to insurance today for gastric sleeve approval and I've gone from being super anxious to getting sooo nervous. I'd really hoped to have the procedure prior to new years to avoid extra expenses. But at this point that would require a "smooth" and swift approval, which I realize might be wishful thinking. I've put myself on the pre-op diet 4 days ago to test my will power. Oh how it's been rough (irritable as hell!!!! ), but I'm completely committed. I can see that this is going to be far from a walk in the park...

Is anyone else playing the waiting game ?

PLEASE REMEMBER ME IN YOUR PRAYERS!

Yeah you're right. Worrying doesnt help anything... Im just going to focus on my lifestyle change until I can get an answer and trust that things will work in my favor.

Congratulations to you

Thanks
