1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted September 24, 2014 Being anxious and nervous is okay, we've all been there. The surgery will certainly change your life but trust me...the changes are for the better and you will do well. Don't get frustrated, the first few weeks are difficult but they pass quickly and then it gets pretty darn easy. I love my sleeve and I know you will too. good luck and welcome to a wonderfully healthy life style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
