Depression vs a possible insurance denial

I have suffered with depression the bulk of my life. About 2 years ago i had a complete breakdown. I know it was depression over not having a life and all the miseries that accompany it. I hope to be scheduled for a consultation within a month or so. The date has not been set since the Dr wants to weed out those who may not know what all ppl experience who have WLS. So far I have had moments of depression but nothing like what happened to me a few years ago. I know whats to expect and whats expected of me. I am concerned that my previous psyche history will destroy my chances to get this surgery. I have noticed that the wait for the appointment has stressed me greatly. I come here daily and read the posts, but I want to be saying I have crossed over and I have lost X amount of weight. How did you all hold on during those months of waiting? The wait itself adds alot of stress. I made the mistake of telling friends I plan to have it and if I am not accepted it will be an embarrassment I will not be able to live down. Any advice would be welcomed.
