OK... I am sitting here completely depressed for no reason.... I am having an anxiety attack for no reason also... I have been on and off the message board all morning reading messages, looking @ before and after pics, all the normal stuff I guess people do on here. What I am having issues with I guess, probably whats causing the depression and anxiety, is I am tired of waiting.

I want to have this WLS so badly and am just beginning the process. I still have a bit of waiting to do b4 I can even go to the DR., my insurance wont start till Nov. 1st. Then I have to wait b4 I can be seen by a DR. Then I have to wait to get the referral. I had been approved b4 when I lived in so cal, but because of some personal issues, was unable to complete the entire process. Whats funny is, I was never this anxious b4. I cant even explain how hyped I am right now. Is this normal when starting this whole process??? Did I mention my biggest pet peeve in life is waiting??? Goodness @ me....

Jenn sorry your feeling this way. I'm anxious as well to get wls done. Do you know what surgeon your using? I'm going to UCDMC, Dr. Ali and Dr. Fuller are the surgeons there. Not sure which one I'm going to have do my surgery if I get accepted. I know they require a 10% body weight loss. I started that back in August. I lost the required 10% already. That helped me focus on something instead of driving myself crazy waiting for my first consult on Oct 31st. I hope you get over this, its not good to be in that state of mind. Just think one day all this will be behind you and you'll be healthier and happier.

I know what you mean. I am not one that likes to go through hoops and wait for anything. That is why I love NASCAR, fast fast fast. I like my life to go that way too, and I hate when things don't go fast enough, but if anything, this is a slow process. It's meant to drive anyone nuts, I am sure, but you have to be patient and play a clown and jump through the hoops of the process. So get out of the funk, we all have done it, and we have all been sucsessful (sp) in the end. So hang tough and everything will happen when it supposed to happen.

Wishing you luck, Diane

I know what you mean ..OMG. I'm waiting and trying to watch what I eat because I'm in the pre-op stuff to and I'm just sitting here thinking..it wont happen. Something will happen and I will have to wait even longer. I read all the post and stories and think, if only my process will go that smoothly. Everyone has their story. So, just be hopeful like I am and it will happen. That is normal, because I'm feeling the same way. Good luck!

Hang in there. We all have been through this and it's all worth the wait. It goes by quick.
