This is an important part of the process. First there are lots of doctor's appts to work through, then the surgery comes (YEA!), but then you have to figure out how to eat again, and how to exercise, so the entire process requires quite a bit of focus for a long time.
Good luck on successful outcomes on your appts, and getting a date!
I'm so happy you've made the commitment. This part of the process was nerve wracking for me. The whole time until I was approved by insurance had me on the edge of my seat.
Be sure to write down all your concerns and questions for your surgeon when you see him. I did this, and I know I would have forgotten some points if I didn't have the list.
