Hello, I'm waiting on ...

Hello, I'm waiting on the surgeons office to call me with an appointment to talk about having the surgery. I sent in paper work that I filled out. I'm guessing that they are screening who will be a good candidate. But I hate the waiting. WLS is about all I can think about lately. I am excited about this new journey, but at the same time I'm very scared. It is going through my mind that they are not gonna accept me for one reason or another. I probably worry too much. This will be a total lifestyle change. What if I fail and it don't work. Lots of questions like that going through my mind. Well, thanx for listening. debby

Debby, Welcome hun and congrats on taking the first step to the rest of your life. ~Hugs~ You will do great and do not worry about failing, this is a great tool when you use it right. I was a nervous reck the whole time hun so you just hang in there and move forward. I have to admit, WLS was ALL I thought about once I started the process and sometimes I had to find something other to do because it was stressing me out way to much. You have found the right place for support and help so post often and keep us updated as you move forward! Congrats on taking the 1st, big step. ~Hugs~ Debra P 285/229/125??

Thank you for the welcome. Yea I'm excited about having the surgery and losing the weight but I'm scared too. I did call the surgery center today and they are gonna review it sometime this week then let me know what they decide. So I am very nervous about what they are gonna decide. I really really wanna be accepted for the surgery. My sister had the surgery and she has lost like 260 lbs. It is amazing to me. debby
