Hi everyone,

I am new to the board. I am having surgery on June 29th and I am exited and scared at the same time. I was on another board but unfortunately, many of those on that board had done the other types of surgeries and not very many had done a gastric sleeve.

So, I hope I can get lots of information as to what to expect. My dr. is great but they don't always tell you ALL you need to know. The one frustrating thing for me has been hearing that there isn't any long term data. But, I hope to give them that.

This journey has been many years in the making and not until 3 months ago did I make a decision. But it seems like once I made the decision everything has been easy. I went to my first meeting if you will in May and got approve 2 weeks later via my insurance. So, I believe it is GOD's will.

I hope to learn from all your experiences.

Welcome. Wow, less than a week away. You are so right, scared and excited is about right, lol. You'll be fine. Keep us posted of your progress.

I sure will... I was telling my husband I wanted to take my computer to the hospital but he won't let me because he said I would work... I work from home so it is always tempting.

Wow you got approved fast. How exciting for you. I haven't had my surgery yet, but I'm hoping for a late July or early August date. Good luck and best wishes.
