I am more than half way there to begin my beginning. I have seen my doctors, and I have passed the tests needed to have my surgery done. I am now scheduled late December to have my sleeve gastrectomy. I am excited, but at the same time I am afraid. There are risks with all surgerys, I know, but it still does not keep me from being scared. Any suggetions? I start my 10 day prep on 12/12/2011.
