HELP! I'm feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious...

In two weeks I have my initial appointment with my PCP, when I will tell him I want WLS. I have been spending hours upon hours reading about and compiling surgery information, my health history, family history, diet history, etc., putting it all in a report folder to present to him. I know he will laugh at me, as I barely squeak by, BMI-wise, and I have a notoriously stingy HMO. I do have a few comorbidities, including very high cholesterol, but I completely expect this to be a very long and stressful battle, as far as getting my insurance to cover it. I know 100% that WLS is what I want, but I feel that it is so out of reach for me. Part of me wonders if I can even deal with this whole insurance aspect and if I shouldn't just go straight to the bank and apply for a loan and pay for this thing myself. I so desperately want to be on the otherside! I need a hug!!
