Good luck with your appointment. I was initially going to have the bypass, but decided on the sleeve in the end. I'm almost 4 months out and don't regret a thing.
Are you from San Juan, or travelling there for surgery?
Wow, just saw your update! So soon! Are you going to be on a purely liquid diet, between now and your surgery date?
3 days to go! I'll be thinking of you!
