Approved!!!, but still scared!!!

I'm going to be having this done in Tulsa, and don't like that I have to be that far from home, but it was still closer than Little Rock. I don't have the surgery date yet, but it is going to be in December. I needed to get the approval of a pulminary doctor and cardiologist and still waiting for the approval from the cardiologist. I want this done more than anything, but I'm also afraid of a negative outcome, death. I'm doing this primarily to be a better mother to my beautiful baby daughter (16 months old on 11/1). I know that if I stay at this weight I won't last long anyway and won't be any good to anyone, but I don't want to miss out on my daughter now. I believe there was a reason why my first try for the approval w/the insurance failed, and that God felt it wasn't right. Now that it's approved and everything is rolling, I have to believe that it is the right time. I guess I'm just a worry wort.

All of us who have been through WLS shared your nervousness, but from my perspective 8 months later, I count it as one of my greatest blessings. Congratulations! Joy
