Today I met with my surgeon for my final visit before surgery on April 12th next week. I had him on the hot seat as I grilled and drilled him with 2 handwritten pages full of questions. He answered them all patiently and we laughed and visited more like old friends than doctor and patient...lol He was so kind and and walked me through everything that I should and should not expect on surgery day. My husband got a real kick out of him too. He not only dismissed my initial consultation fee but today he also let me know that he would not be charging me a penny extra to repair the hiatal hernia they found during my endoscopy! I love my surgeon!!!

    One week until your big day!! Wishing you well, and I do hope you're all stocked up with everything you will need for your first few weeks post op. Likely you won't be up to shopping.

    Remember to rest, sip, walk and keep repeating. Every day will get better and this time next year, you won't even recognize yourself in the mirrror!!! :)
