46 Days and a Wake Up!

So I am down to 46 days and a wake up from today for my surgery! My pre-ops are on Monday and then it it just a hurry up and wait for my approval. I can't begin to tell ya'll how nervous this is making me. Nervous that it may or may not be approved, Nervous about having surgery (never had it before), Nervous about not being fat for the rest of my life, NERVOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!!! I know that all these emotions are normal but GEEZ LOUISE!!!!!!! GIMME A BREAK! I just wanted to vent a little! I will update after my pre-ops on Monday. My computer is down at home so I have to use the one at work to update.

I just signed up and pretty much at random found you. I live in Suffolk & was trying to locate a good doctor/practice. Where will you have the surgery? Did the practice have experience with writing up the approval letter? Does the surgeon's office do that or is it your PCP? I'm just chock full of questions. I'm 44, BMI is 38, I have a history of congestive heart failure, and recently lost 32 pounds & gained back 35. That's how it's been for me since I was about 35. And, since I had my hysterectomy it's been a nightmare - I tend to gain weight almost daily! Anyway, I've babbled enough. Take care, good luck and if you have any advice/thoughts for me, please let me know.
