I have a few questions. My paperwork has just been sent off...

For three years I have been going through a maze of obstacles to make sure everything is complete to send to insurance company. Now that I am waiting for approval my level of anxiety is climbing. I wonder how I deal w/all the mixed reactions I am getting from people? Most are good, but other people make you nervous when they ask "downer" questions. I am ready to live the life that I have never known, but I fear that I will not make it out of the hospital. Is there anyway to make my myself mentally prepared for the actual day of surgery? Third, I was born eleven pounds. I have never seen a thin day in my life. So, sometimes I think maybe I will just look at myself one day after I have lost the weight and just freak out and go crazy at what I see and the choice I made. Is there any chance that my irrational thinking will come true? I would really love a mentor to speak to that has had some of my same thoughts. I try to reassure myself that I will be fine. I have only GERD for a comorbidity but a high BMI. You never know what could go wrong. Thank you. Brandi
