My name is Sandra and I live in Northern Virginia. I went to my Bariatric Surgery Session 5 Aug 10. I have completed all the necessary lab work, meetings, and appts inorder to receive a date for surgery. I was interested in the Band but now would like to get the Sleeve. I am looking forward to a new life soon inside and out. I am excited, but a little scared. I will be having my surgery at Bethesda Hospital in Maryland soon.
