I'm getting sleeved with Dr Avara June 14th! I actually went to a support group put on by SMSurgeons tonight! Crazy!! I agree! The staff there is so sweet and caring. I think that I made a good choice by going with them. I know you will do great! I can't wait to here from you and how you are doing! Are you from the coast area? I'm from Hattiesburg. Well, good luck and please, please let me know how you are doing!

wow thats awesome! im from gulfport.

wait till you meet the hospital staff they are just as sweet. a particular nurse there named kelly has been amazing at helping me to calm down and even put in some extra notes for the other nurses of my extreme fear of needles. theres also another lady in the lab named pam who just had the sleeve done too she was very sweet, assuring and told me alot of info as well.

ty for the well wishes i will definitely post info asap

It's your day. You will forever be a different person.

Please keep everyone posted on your progress.

UPDATE:

I'm in the hospital right now. Just got back from my first walk. First let me tell you guys I had major trauma twice as a kid with emergency stitches and I'm the biggest baby in the world. I cried thru everything but to be honest the IV was the worst part and it wasnt even that bad.

I keep thinkin theres no way i just had this done I'm not even in pain. It's like a cramp in my tummy but just WOW I'm extremely shocked. The Cough Buddy is awesome as well.. the only thing I don't like is having to cough.

I wish I wouldnt have told the aide I was dizzy because I wanted to walk alot further than they had me walk. lol

Thanks guys for the prayers n wishes, I really appreciate all the love. <3

I sent you a private message! I am so glad to hear from you! I thought about you today! Let me know all the juicy details!
