Welcome and be patient with all these Doc appts. and tests. I know it will feel like you will never get to the surgery!! Read as much as you can you will feel so much more comfortable by the time you have your surgery.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
