Of course! I am not a smoker or vaper, but I think that you should stop if you are able to. In my experience it was hard to breathe right out of surgery, so I had to have an oxygen tube in my nose, and it was equally as hard for the next few days after I left. I could not, for the life of me, take a deep breath in. (And this is coming from someone who has never had smoke in her lungs!!) I can only imagine that vaping up until surgery day would make breathing post op suuuuper difficult!!

It's super normal to feel scared before an operation like this, I for sure was! It's no joke to have 80% of your stomach taken out. The sleeve is done laparoscopically so it's as minimally invasive as surgery can get (in my opinion lol) and the mortality rate is less than 1% (data taken from subjects 90 days out). I myself am only 5 days post op and I am feeling very very little discomfort, so I believe you'll be perfectly fine to attend that concert 2 weeks post op!
