Today I received the amazing news that I've been approved for the sleeve! Wahoooooo I'm so excited right now I'm also kinda freaking out because it's happening so quickly. I started seriously looking into this back in June/July. Of course I've been contemplating it for years but I'm still nervous. I know this will be the best decision I make but I also know that it won't be a walk in the park. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!

Very exciting! I would say just read up as much as you can so you are as prepared as possible. I really like Geneen Roth's books on emotional eating. I wish I had discovered them before surgery so I was more prepared for that part of it. There's also lots of good blogs and video blogs from "vets" you could check out for "what to expect" kind of info. My blog is linked in my signature. It goes back 4 years to my first pre-op appt through now. Good luck to you

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate it. Looking forward to the next phase in my life

My insurance approved me for surgery and I really didn't have that many requirements. They were BMI over 40 and a psych eval. I also had an endoscopy per my surgeon. Insurance approved so I'll be getting my surgery date soon!
