im June 6th! and im nervous for the unknown of course,its my first surgery as well.. but honestly im super excited besides that, dont get scared..i researched my doctor for months and actually switched about 3 weeks ago to another doctor and now i feel confident with my choice!! its a major surgery yes,but so is ANY surgery..people talk it up to be scary cause its not common and un heard of..and "gastric" gets people scared cause of the bypass and bands..the sleeve has ALOT less complications:) youll do awesome!!!!!!!
