I am now awaiting the green light before I can start scheduling my surgery....anyone have any experience with mayo clinic? I intend to have mine there.....pretty nervous esp. Since i will also have to have major hip surgery once my sleeve is healed. I can never get enough info from all the threads I've been reading on this site...everyone is so supportive and it's something needed for those that try to not confide in everyone their plans to have these procedures done. hopefully October is my month. Take care

I agree. At almost 7 weeks out only my surgeon, her staff and of course my fellow sleevers on this fourum knows. I have told no one and so enjoy being able to come on here and read and share. I'm seriously addicted to bariatric pal.
