Nervous about the questions
Just go in with a positive attitude and everything will be fine. I'm the only person I know who failed the psych the first time, but I was going through a lot of things with my now ex, and had diagnosed depression and anxiety disorder. Just go in and be honest, and have a positive outlook! Good luck!

Cocktail hour!
I had a "light" Midori sour last week, I didn't dump, or get super drunk off it. I asked the bar tender and he said it only had 5g of sugar in it. look ahead a lot of bars (mostly those in restraunts) will have the nut facts on their drinks. be careful and always designate a driver. lol

And So It Begins. . .
Definitely. It is well worth the wait. I was hung up for nearly a year. It was both a blessing and a curse. The wait gave me time to consider everything and cope with the changes that were taking place.

Lady Business.
Okay, so I'm 7 weeks out, and this is super TMI. About three weeks ago, I started my period; it lasted about three days, which was normal for me. About two days after it was over, it started again, heavier. It lasted about three days, again. Two days after that, it started again, and I'm shocked that I have this much blood in my body. Anyone else going through this?

GERD is GONE!
It was one of the first things I noticed when I woke up from surgery. I have had constant acid and heart burn for a few years, so when it was gone, I noticed. It's a great feeling.
