Newbie here

I am fairly new to the group. I have been lurking around for a couple of months now. I have read some very informative stuff. I went to my information session on 8/16. My consultation with the surgeon is on 9/6. I am on month 4/6 of a diet that I have to do to satisfy insurance requirements. Now that I have my surgical consult I am starting to get nervous. Wondering if anyone has any advice

Surgery usually makes folks nervous. Any surgery. Combine ours with a big lifestyle change and the nervous factor increases.

Try and focus on the positive change that's about to occur. Picture yourself a thin person. By the time I got approved I couldn't wait to get on that operating table.

Hi, and welcome!

Just follow your plan and everything should work out. Good luck!

Welcome!! Great people and info here! No advice, just howdies! :D

Welcome! No real advice, I'm on month 2/6, we must have a similar insurance requirement.

WELCOME!! My best advice? Grit your teeth, and jump through all the hoops your insurance/surgical program require, even if/when they seem stupid...

It will all be worth it, at the end of the WLS rainbow (Pretend the heart is a rainbow)
