I am waiting as well.  This Friday is 7 months of weigh ins, waiting and trying to lose enough for insurance to give the blessing.  According to my scales, I know unfortunately I will be waiting another month.  Would love to know this will happen before the holidays.  If there is a positive to the waiting, it is that I am learning more and preparing more for the after surgery.  I think I will be more prepared for whats to come.

The waiting is the worst! This last six months has been a long six months for me.  I've been using the time to just continually to educate myself. You can never know everything, and it's my goal to be as close to an expert as possible on all the "rules" and stuff post-op.

Reminds me of when I was pregnant, kind of. I felt like I was pregnant for like two years! Here I am today, though, with an almost 5 year old, and with the exception of the last 6 months I feel like I just had her yesterday :)

I can totally understand how crazy you feel when just waiting, feeling like you're in limbo.....

My family couldn't understand why I just needed a date to focus on. I need that goal to reach for. If I could just be left to my own devices, I wouldn't have  a weight problem. I need the help & the accountabilty.

I feel you. I had to wait 6 months to submit to insurance, then I had to wait almost 3 months for surgery. Now I'm 39 days away and beginning to freak out that it's not enough time.

It'll go fast. Focus on bettering you in the mean time.

I know how you feel.  Started my process in January and finally have date for August 26th.  Hope things move quickly for you.
