Help, I am approved!! My surgery is May 20th!!

I got approved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and  it took 8 days !! I have been so antsy waiting for a call and now that I got the call I am nervous as heck!,, I need words  of encouragement.  I would love to hear good advice on what I should be doing to prepair myself for my up and comming permanent life changes!!  

Wow, congratulations!   I had a similar reaction when everything finally came together for me...  But you got this.  focus on preparation and eat as healthy as you can, and start exercising some, so you can get your body as strong and ready for surgery as possible. When it comes to colds or anyone with a cold, isolate yourself. It's  all about you!

and yes, this is a big, big step. But meditate and focus and take some steadying breaths,  you can and will do it! 

My Surgery is 04/29 and I felt just like you. I have already lost the weight I needed for surgery and now I am just continuing the life style, so I can continue to loose weight and be as prepared as I can. I have known about the surgery since 03/16/15 and I was letting the Fear rule me, until I figured why I was so scared. It was the Fear of the unknown that had me in knots. I am such a planner and organizer, it took me minute to embrace and let God. Sending great thoughts your way and be blessed.

@mckey1 Thanks for your thoughts and blessings!

I wish you the best as well please keep me posted!  You know i read that those that loose weight prior to surgery show to have a much higher sucess rate statisticaly.  So that alone should motivate you even more! Your on your way already!!!

Do you mind if I ask where you read that factoid about pre-op loss leading to better post-op results? I'm about 2 weeks away from surgery and am getting really nervous...I could really use all the reassuring statistics I can get!

 Hello... I would love to hear how you are doing after surgery?? I am having my surgery in 8 days and I am soooooo scared a nervous please if you could share any tips or how it went I would appreciate it.. 

thanks,

I am doing real good. What is so strange on the day of my surgery I had peace and was able to get through it. My co worker, family and friends were so supportive it gave me more strength and I was able to do it. So far 12lbs down since surgery and I feel pretty good. So stay encouraged you can do this and came this far. Please be blessed.

Congrats on your approval!!!!

Thank you!!
