Hello everyone! I am new to this!

[B.rae_issleeved 1]

Hello I am 24 and I have just been approved and start the process to get my sleeve. I have my nut appointment the 30 and hopefully have surgery by the end of January. I am very excited for this although with any surgery it comes with some nerves. I am excited about finding this group to have people that went through the same as I am about to! And also that will be going through as well! ????
