So hi guys ! I'm going for my initial consult tomorrow. But I found out yesterday I've gotta have ankle surgery in 2 weeks. I'm afraid the dr will want to postpone any pre -sleeve appts until foot is healed. That's like 3 months. Any thoughts ?

That's something you'll have to discuss with the surgeon. I had a much more minor foot surgery than yours (bunion) 3 weeks before my sleeve and it wasn't a problem at all to my surgeon. Will you be able to walk? That's going to be important for healing and helping with the gas.
