I just found out today that I qualify through insurance for surgery.  I have a BMI of 40 and am 5'7.  I carry all of my weight in my lower stomach and butt.  I am scared right now only because this is going to be real in a few weeks.  For the past few months, I thought that I wouldn't be approved, even though I wanted to be approved.  Now, it's here and in the very short future.  Any advice for someone.  I think I'm scared the most about what I will eat in the future, whether any of my friends will really be there for me, and how my skin will look as the weight comes off.  I also have so many questions, like, when will I be able to go back to work, will I be able to exercise, lift things.  I feel like I'm atypical because I have a lower BMI and NO co-morbidities.  Does this mean I should jump right into the beginning of my new life pretty quickly.  I just need some reassurance right now.  Thanks for listening.
