    Penhook replied to Ahoraflaca's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Don't be scared. I was. But it was not anywhere as bad as I thought it would be. I had the sleeve. Took less than 45 min. Even with all my health issues I went home the next day. To me the worst thing is the GAS. Sent from my SM-S765C using the BariatricPal App
