I m in Northern California with a surgery date of May 31st. I will be finally having the Gastric Sleeve I say finally because this is my 3rd doctor and had to have an UGI and upper endoscopy before she would okay my surgery. I did not want the bypass which because of my GERD the first two said no. After finding "several" polyps in my stomach a bypass is no longer on the table. I am nervous, scared, excited, stressed and worried. My adult children are not happy I am doing this. Even my long time friend is cold to the idea. My sister in law had her surgery last year in Mexico and had many buddies. I am going through my husband's health insurance. I have attended a meeting but had company this month and was unable. I only had 12 days notice for this surgery.
