Anyone having the sleeve in april?!

Hi my name is Jackie from Miami fl! My surgery is scheduled April 2 and I am super nervous! I hope I get the approval from the insurance... My fiancé doesn't talk about my surgery at all unless I mention something about it. In definitely looking for others to talk to about my journey.

I go for my endoscopy 4/10....good luck!

I had a long wait but by this time I was done. That is a long time.

This process is ridiculous! I have been here since 8:30 Am and nothing yet!

Jackie, when I did my UGI test in the hospital I was there for 5 hrs, I was so frustrated that day. But it all pays off girl! lol hope your finally done w/endoscopy.
