Hello fellow Texans!
I am traveling to Mexico on Friday for what will hopefully be my gastric sleeve surgery. I am definitely starting to get nervous,excited and feeling even some panic lol. I am worried that something bad will happen like I will fail a pre op test lol. *Sigh*. I am soooo nervous. I have a couple of friends going on the same date as me and I'm grateful to have met them from forums. I don't feel so alone and they will know what I'm going through. A little about me--I'm a recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic who has been overweight for about 7 years now and I'm 35 years old now! I cannot seem to get any smaller with diet and exercise so I am obviously doing something wrong! I know I need help. I've read so many success stories and I am so excited that it's going to happen. I hope I'm a success story! :-) I
