 |  Just a little vent
I am having a very stressful day here. I am not one for waiting and this six month thing here is driving me crazy.. I cant sleep, I cant focus, I am worried about what to buy and what to wait for. And the biggest one is that I still have these damn two pounds to lose and next Friday is my first visit with the Surgeon. And I need to be approved by the ins company yet and that is the biggest one that is driving me crazy.. I am sure you girls know what I am talking about. If this keeps up much longer I am going to need xanex. Sheesh...
Sorry just needed to vent was having a really bad panic attack not long ago. And its been years since I had one of those. Say a little prayer for me please. OR kick my butt back into shape ok...

Well, we all know how you feel on some level. I'm sorry you're having to wait so long. I remember how all consuming waiting for that approval can be and mine wasn't that long ago! At least you get to meet your surgeon friday - that's definitely a step in the right direction!!!! Good luck!

I am sending you a hug - I know the fear that crops up before you get approved then the fear before you have surgery and I experience fear the weight loss will stop! I took all this stuff 5 minutes at a time as I know I can do that. You will be in my thoughts as you see the surgeon

this whole journey is one big roller coaster...the surgery is actually the easy part..it's the anticipation and aftermath that really puts you to the test!

Where are you thinking of having your surgery? | I am going to the Reading Hospital Weight management Center..I also got the lead Surgeon because he does most of the people with Diabetes so in that way I got lucky. I have seen the link for my place on here at the top in the rotating hospital links...
I feel confident about the Dr and surgery it is getting to the OR that is killing me..lol

The waiting is the longest part, I never thought it would come and it did. Try to hang in there during this difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers.
