Ok I was originally scheduled on March 27th for my surgery but because my mom couldnt make that time to go with me I am now going on March 10th. Thats over 2 weeks earlier then I planned but I am very excited and cant wait. Im starting my pre op diet today. Hopefully things are going to go well with that! I hear its tough. Is anyone going to Dr. Ortiz in TJ around that time. I would love to hear from you! :tongue2:
