success_n_2010 2 Posted January 14, 2010 Hi, my name is Laura. I am a newbie to the site. I have decided, after failing with all of the "fad diets", to have the gastric sleeve procedure done. I am 5'2" and starting at 238. I am somewhat nervous and anxious all at the same time. My pre-op visit is tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Jan 27th.
