@@LisaMergs ty so much and how cool. I sure hope that happens to me!!

These posts are so for me. I'm 39, about to get sleeved next month and my biggest worry are my mystery autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia. I have sooo many health issues and on about 18 meds. I am in major pain all the time since my single digits and I need morphine daily to make me just comfortable enough to manage my days. I'm very worried about the exercise components even though I am a swimmer which is good. I, also allergic to the sweetener as per tame. The dietitian is going to be doing the food class with me one on one bc of that and the diabetes. I have been looking for others like myself and really happy I found this post Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T807A using the BariatricPal App

Holi I've been reading my big fat sleeve book and it talks lots about this site so decided to come check it out. I've been reading multiple books, researching articles and talking to people. My surgeon thought it was best to do the sleeve with me due to my complex medical hx. I'm scheduled for surgery on October 24th and I'm a ball of nervous excitement! Any tips would be grand. Oh yeh I just turned 39 and in having dr takata at Scripps hospital do my surgery.
