APPROVED!!! Surgery date!!!!

hooray!! yeah once you get that date it all seems 'real'!! good luck to ya!

Great news!!!!!!!

HIP HIP HORRAY!!!!!! What wonderful news. We are all going to be thinking about you on the 8th. Welcome to our little LB world. I have never been happier and I know you will be thrilled as well. Stock up on some Isopur, which will give you 40 grams of protein and it is like water, so you will be able to get it down and keep it down. Also, GasX strips will help the gas, although I didn't use them many people did. I just walked, a lot, around my condo. Rest the day you get home, but the next day walk around every commercial break. You will do great.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement! I am beyond excited and nervous!!!

I'm thrilled for you; however...I must admit I'm a little disappointed you won't be there when my little procedure is done in the office on 10/13! But that's just me being selfish! By the way, how much time are you planning on taking off?

Awww, how sweet "nurse from ga"! I hope to be back in the office within a few days. From everything I have read here, it really varies by person. SSJ is hoping sooner than later! LOL! She doesn't like being without me. I hope to be there for you on the 13th!

Hugs!
