new to the group and freaking out!

just wanted to say hi! I just joined the group in the hopes of finding others to chat with about this new adventure!  I'm having my sleeve surgery in 9 days and to be honest I am a nervous wreck!!!  I'm not sure why, just freaking out a bit, lol.  I think its probably because I don't actually know anyone who has had this surgery, while I know so many who have had lapband or bypass I don't have anyone who can share their real life experience...you know, the nitty gritty details that the surgeon may not have mentioned.  I would love to hear your experiences so far!

I'm just a few days ahead of you!  I am starting to get nervous, but not crazy nervous.  I know what can happen, both positive and negative and just feel that the benefits completely outweigh the risks for my situation. 

I met one person who got the sleeve and we have talked about his experiences.  He told me what things to do and not do, which are basically what everyone is posting on the main VSG board.

I "started" this group because I wanted to talk with/share with people that were going through the same things NOW :) like you!

Is your surgery date the 12th?

Not sure why my post isn't showing as a response ... hmmmmm
