Finally approved

Well i finally got the ok for my gastric sleeve surgery .I started this journey ,January 2010 and approved August, 4 2010 its been a long year or should i say 2yrs i was told i had arthritis in my spine and in my knees and if i lost 100 lbs it would help to ease my pain ha ha not a good joke of course i put more on because of the pain and not being able to exercise or walk so with the support of my husband and daughter i decided to give the lap band a shot. When i finnally got to meet Dr Jaward and his staff he told us about our opitsions i decided to go with the gastric sleeve because of less maitnence and less dr vistes seeing as hes in occala and im like 2 1/2 hours away im just concered thats its only been around for 5 yrs or so ( the sleeve ) ive talked to a few people that have had gastric bypass i've gone to support meetings i know this will be good for me but still a bit scared about cutting one of my organs if anyone could tell me how your sleeve is going id love to hear your storys thanks much also my pre opt is august 26th 2010 and my surgery is september 8 2010
