change cold to what ever feels right for you. I'd rather have surgery than a heart attack, or shame, or be fat.... you get the drift.

Welcome George, nice to see some men among us. I have had quite a few surgeries, nothing to be afraid of, besides they will give you some nice sedatives beforehand to calm you down. You know what my motto has been for years? "I would rather have surgery than a cold". A cold, you just keep trudging along doing what you have to do and feeling horrible. Surgery, it is socially acceptable to recover.

Congratulations!!

Hi, I am new to the group. I just created my password, but have no idea how to set up my profile so I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Ainslee. I am, newly 61 Y/0. I have an adopted daughter who is 19 and 2 cats. I stated this journey 2 years ago and then became quite sick so her I am again. You can imagine how anxious I am for the surgery. I crated this surgery date because that is when I want it. In truth I got a message on Friday that I am insurance approved. Yeah. So tomorrow, I will call and get my date. I have to wait due to work. I cannot wait. I have already organized my clothes by size so I can wear them as needed and then get rid of them forever. I have a size range between 14 and 20! (I actually have smaller sizes but they are in boxes.) I am looking forward to this group and the group support. I am a good cheerleader for everyone else (not for myself).
