I'll try this again - anyone in Missouri / Kansas City that can help this chicken out ?

I am having very hard time working myself up to having the sleeve. One day I'm good, then several days of abject terror. I have had loads of encouragement through emails from all you wonderful people on this forum but I really do need to meet someone in person (or a group of people) that have already been through surgery so I can get a real life feel for what lies ahead. So, if there is anyone in KC or Northern Missouri that has been through the sleeve and doesn't mind answering my questions or sharing their experience, I would appreciate it SO MUCH !!

I'm in St. Louis if you can't find anyone closer. If all else fails, I would be happy to talk to you on the phone and answer your questions.

I am in southern Missouri but I am pre op for another 3 days (yay!) Does your doctor have a support group or maybe the office can give your contact info to some post ops and they can contact you.

Good luck!
