6 Days Away
It was a post about the sleep study. My pulmonologist offered it but didn't require it for me to be cleared by him. The post mentioned that we can die if we don't get it done. I know that there are always risks when having surgery but I saw my life flash before my eyes. I saw me going into the hospital and not coming out.

6 Days Away
Well it's almost time for my sleeve. Ive been calm and excited since I started my journey but yesterday a post on this site almost mas my heart stop. I know this is a forum to help out with people's experiences and touching bad th what to expect. I appreciate everyone on here's opinion. I quickly messages two of my closest sleeve pals and they were quick to calm me down and tell me to ask my doctor before jumping to conclusions. I was really shaky and felt horrible for the day. This morning I woke up still shaky. I decided to go to the park and wall it off. I've kept Myself busy and has done the trick except thy the days are flying by. I haven't eaten much and I think it's still the nerves. I don't know how to move on from this. Any suggestions.
