I'm a 24 year old female in Maryland and I'm scheduled to have surgery on August 14th. I have been on course to have the sleeve gastrectomy, however, have recently started considering having the band done instead. I'm very excited, but also super nervous as my surgery date gets closer and closer. I'm joining in hopes of finding a source for real life do's/don'ts/regrets/sucesses (apart from those that the medical community wants you to hear). I'm hoping to make some great friends along the way as it's still a relatively new area for me and journeys are always best when you have experienced people right next to you along the way.
Hi Everyone!

I'm very excited, but also super nervous as my surgery date gets closer and closer.
