I'm going in for a vertical gastoplasty with sleeve gastrectomy... done laprascopically with Dr Hazem Elariny ( www.algasa.com ) I'm nervous yet excited at the same time... finally got all my testing done and the results in to the doc.... anyone else apprehensive about starting this new life? I'm a 25 yr old male and I've got so many coworkers who get on the whole go to the gym bandwagon instead of suipporting my decision because of my age.... they don't understand that I've been fighting obesity my entire life and I've been on every diet known to man since I was like 8.... anyone form the fredericksburg VA area out there????
