Approved!

Hi guys! I found out yesterday that I have been approved for my DS! I'm so excited.

All I have to do is wait to receive my surgery date and pre-op appointment.. It has been a loooong ride to get approved for surgery--over four years! I'm just glad this part of my journey is finally over. But now the real challenge is coming up. I'm ready!

Congrats!

That's awesome! Once you get your date, it will fly by! I had a year and a half road to my surgery and the last 6 months dragggggged! But I got my surgery date of January 9th in early December and that month flew by. It will be here before you know it. Enjoy this time getting prepared and making your plan of action! :-)

That's fantastic news, Congratulations!

Yay!! Congratulations!!!

Thanks, guys! I now have a date. My new 'birthday' is August 15th. It doesn't even seem like it's three weeks away--more like three days away. I'm beginning to freak out, to be honest. I'm a constant worry-wart.

But I'll remain strong. I have to.

Everything will be fine!  I'm a worrier too but the biggest emotion I felt leading up to my date was excitement.  I was so excited to get on that table and get most of that unneeded and unwanted stomach out! LOL The first few weeks take some adjustment but once you are back to eating regular food, this will go back to normal.  Plus you get to watch the scale fly down which is so amazing! You'll have your freak out moments but you'll be fine!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm over my nervousness now and am ready to get this thing over with, haha.
