Jlkhollins 38 Posted December 30, 2014 My surgeon's office just called and scheduled pre-op for January 20th (all day) and surgery on January 29th. I have worked so hard for this....two years of insurance issues, traveling 8 hours round trip to find the best surgeon. And, now I am scared. Scared of leaks, scared of complications, scared of not succeeding with the sleeve. I am going to try and trust in Dr. Schroder and his team and quiet my nervousness. But HOLY CRAP....this is really happening!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
