Finished all requirements... Now I wait.

I finally finished all my requirements! Everything has been submitted to my insurance..... The wait begins! This is going to be the longest 2-4weeks lol. To be honest before I started this process I never thought about WLS, then my doctor recommended it due to my PCOS, insulin resistance my heart condition (leaky valve), family history of diabetes (I'm pre diabetic) and heart attacks (my dad and uncle had one last year, both my grandfather's died of heat attacks) . I always thought it was the 'easy way out' but seriously since going through the last 5 months of nutrition visits, Trainor visits, changing my eating habits, logging my food, all the tests, the support groups ect... it's def not easy, its a complete lifestyle change. You gotta be 100% committed. I'm glad I started this journey. I'm thinking surgery will be sometime in April. Anyone else waiting for approval!?.... Impatiently haha
