For me the most anxiety was waiting, hoping, NO PRAYING I would be approved! God Luck... C'ya Bob

Yeah, it's normal to be anxious waiting for approval.  Then ya get nervous about the surgery once it is approved. Then ya get impatient wanting it to hurry up and happen. Then ya get nervous and apprehensive as the surgery date draws closer. Then ya have the surgery, get high on pain meds, start losing a ton of weight and say to yourself "Pfffftttt . . . I should have done this years ago!"

Good luck to ya!!

Bob, I'm at the 'nervous and apprehensive as the surgery date draws closer' stage. Monday will be here soon, but not soon enough!

Perry in Nashville, looking forward to those pain meds

Perry, just try to keep yourself focused on staying positive and how much better your life will be once you lose the excess weight. Take this time to prepare for your return home after surgery. Make sure you have sugar free jello, protein shots, brothes, vitamins, etc. on hand. Prepare a  daily food journal to track your daily intake of fluids, food, etc.  Get everything ready so you can get a good start on your new life!

Monday will be here before ya know it and you'll be on the Loser's Bench in no time!!  I'm sure you will do just fine! Good luck to ya!

You are perfectly normal.  Godd luck!

You and I are in the same boat! I am waiting for my approval as well, I have Cigna and I have no idea when it will go through! I have herd some people say within 48 hours then I have herd some take 7-20 days.. so who knows!! But I am a ball of nerves too!! Hang in there!

Breath!  I can understand you being nervous.  My stomach was a ball of nerves until I heard that it had been approved.  I had convinced myself that it was going to be denied.

I have Aetna and Mine took about a week.  Alot faster then I thought.  I got the approval and then got REALLY nervous!!

But I'm now almost 4 weeks out, and am really glad that I did it.

WOW!  It sounds like we've got a lot of people in that same little boat! 

I like the suggestion someone else has already given.....

BREATHE!!!

It will happen when it's time!  don't give up and continue to fight.  Surgery is not a fix all solution, it's a tool to help fix the problem.  So, remember to breath, take it one step at a time, and hang on!
