My surgery is the 21st of november. My fear is recovery, losing more weight, not being able to eat. Hoping I can go on an insulin pump with my condition. The members posts were all positive as could be and I feel a little better after ready. I am just nervous and is consuming me. The gathering place is sending me info on meditation before surgery and after. Thank you for your help. Hugs
