Anxiety in the pre- approval period

I am almost done with all my pre- approval requirements for insurance. I am really scared that I will not get approved after all this. I have already had to do an endoscopy, chest x-ray, gallbladder ultrasound, psych eval , nuitritional consults etc. I also cannot stop eating. I feel like this is my last time I will be able to eat whatever I want. How did you guys cope during this waiting period.

I am very anxious too. My last thing to do will be the psych eval and I'm doing that on Tuesday. I am trying to keep myself busy to not think so much about it. I'm praying I get approved and that I'll have an early September date, but the anticipation is killing me.

My last appointment is 8/7. I am also hoping for a early September date. Hopefully we both get approved and get this done soon !

My surgery date is August 7 and let me tell you the waiting game is an awful game. You have all different emotions and you're just questioning a lot of things. I suggest keeping that new sexy you in the back of your head the whole time. I'm not sure what type of diet you will have to do but I'm on 1500 calories and boy it's depressing. All the foods I ate before the diet I miss but all the food I'm eating for the diet I'm going to miss. Again I say keep the bigger prize in your eyes. That's what is helping me and I hope it can help you too.
