ChristieK 70 Posted March 14, 2013 Having my sleeve done on the 28th and being scoped on the 18th. I think I'm more nervous about the scope than the surgery itself. Anyone else in the same boat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pantala 125 Posted March 14, 2013 My surgery is the 28th as well. No scoping for me though! Why are you having it done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy310 33 Posted March 14, 2013 I will be having surgery on March 29th. Happy to finally have insurance authorization. I'm excited, but I also anticipate some nervousness as the date approaches. Good luck to you both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
