Default got the approval letter today wow wow

Well one mor step over. i got the letter today and faxed it to the surgeons office tonight at work. Well the next step is the setting of the date for the surgury. WOW. when it gets going it goes fast. i am scared to death. Not scared enough to cancell but still scared. Worrying about living up to the regiment that it is going to take to keep the weight off. as most of you, I have lost plenty of weight in my life but never kept it off. This is the final step. Prayers please. see ya in a few days (hopefully know my surgury date before friday is over. WOW

CJ that is great. It is perfectly normal to be scared. Scared is good that means you are aware of what you are walking into and you are still willing to perceed. I am scared but I am more ready to get this done and over with. Its been to many years gone of my life and ready to get some of them back. I wish you all the best CJ. God Bless.

Congratulations, that is the biggest hurdle you have to get over. It is perfectly normal to be scared, I'd worry if you weren't! Please keep us posted.

Congrats to you on getting approval. What a long road that was for you...... Prayers are coming your way. Fear is normal, but God is in control and will protect and guide you and the surgeons. Rest in that knowledge

When ever God brings you to it He will lead you through it!
