Well, this is my first post since joining Obesity Help a few days ago. I am on pins and needles today because tomorrow Feb. 4TH is my Pre-op apt. My last hurdle before surgery. I have a surgery date scheduled for Feb 9TH. I have this fear my surgeon will deny or put off the surgery for a later date because I have not met the required 10% weight loss. My trust in this process is lacking. I have been actively pro suing this for over 1.5 years. There have been many mix ups and mis-communications throughout this process. I have been approved by my insurance and ready to go but the office is telling me the Dr. has the final word. For me this has been a backwards process. I thought the Dr. was willing to do the surgery and that is why they submitted to them. I found out I am just a "candidate" and that is why they submitted. I just have this negative feeling about  tomorrow. How much longer do I have to wait to get on with my life? I don't want to waste another minute. Not to mention my work is probably tired of me taking off for a million and one appointments. Can anyone out there offer me some advice? Can anyone relate to the long and frustrating road to getting here? Can someone let me know what to expect from the pre-op? I don't want to hurt my chances of having the surgery next week? What not to do or say?
