saw Dr on Friday, Insurance approved me today

wow,

i didnt think i would get approved that quick.  2 days for the most part not counting the weekends.  i was shocked....so excited but nervous. 
to be honest even though my wife was more comfortable with everything after meeting the Dr, i still think she is leaning away from me having the surgery.  but i really think its whats best.  i just want her comfortable with .

cant wait to here from surgeon to set a date, i am sure i can get it mid nov, but trying for early december so i can be home with family for holidays and not have to worry about getting time off work. 

i have always worried about everyone else first and put myself 2nd no matter what.  so i think this is a huge step for me, i will be taking care of myself 1st.  it sucks with the recovery that i wont be able to live my daugther for a few weeks, but i would rather sacrifice those few weeks, then be dead in a few years.

so nervous could keep rambling.  i just hope i dont mess up and gain all the weight back

you are on your way to a new life.....just follow the rules and you will do well. i wish u lots of luck!!!!!

I know what you mean.  I saw the doctor on Thursday of last week and got the call today that I was approved.  I am scheduled for October 20th.  Good luck to you and keep positive.
