Surgery Tomorrow

Tomorrow is my big day. I leave the house at about 5 AM and report in at the hospital by 6. Since I started this journey, my aim has always been to have a gastric bypass. At my appointment with the surgeon this afternoon, he told me that, due to previous surgeries, my gastric bypass may become a sleeve. He's worried about the fact that due to adhesions from an open surgery in 1980 that caused an umbilical hernia in 2009. The surgeon who repaired the hernia did it in a way that may also be a problem. I can accept having a sleeve done. My goal has always been to improve my health. My main concern is that for the past year, all my focus has been on gastric bypass surgery. I'm going into this surgery not really knowing much about the sleeve. Sorry about the long ramblings. I'm much more stressed about the surgery now than I was.
