Need encouraging words or a buddy to help me through this wls

Hello all, I am due for surgery in October but I finally finished out the program to be able to submit my paperwork to my insurance as of Thursday 9/17/20 now I'm just waiting on a call from my baratric team to choose what day in October. My program was technically supposed to end October 1st but I got done a little sooner ? I'm in need of support other than my boyfriend and his family. I'm so scared. but sorta excited. I deal with anxiety and depression so it can be a bit of a struggle some days I think I got the whole WLS thing down and other days I'm just way too overwhelmed by it all! Encouraging words accepted* I'm in need of them.

Much love ~ Rachael

Hey everyone,

So I wanted to tell you guys I've been feeling a lot better within the past couple days not as anxious anymore about the surgery. I got my old job back and it's waiting for me after I heal from surgery. I'm also working on an excersise routine such as which days an times I plan to workout at the gym for after surgery. Plus I'm joining my friend Dixie's Zumba class. I tried to reach out to my baratric team member/ my surgeon's assistant and nothing. Their office isn't open tomorrow so gotta wait until Monday to call again but I was calling to hopefully get some answers on what happens next. I looked up on Google says it can take anywhere from 2-4weeks for my insurance to make a decision and that's if my insurance finds it medically necessary.
