New from NEA

Hey Everyone - I am new to the board and posting for the first time. I am in the approval stages of qualifying for the sleeve procedure. I am going to Dr. Bruce Jones to have this done. I am nervous as heck about the whole procedure but I have enough family history of health problems and have several health problems on my own that I feel this is the best treatment option to help me combat my health issues and get of the numerous meds that I take. I just want to be healthy and return to the active lifestyle I once enjoyed and I want to be alive to see my children grow up and God willing my grand children. I am seriously concerned about the pain factor and the recovery time with this procedure. Can anyone give me a heads up as too what to expect? Thanks in advance for the advice
