    gr8ful1,

    I think most surgeons will repair it at the same time instead of doing two separate surgeries. Hopefully yours will!

    Hey Megan,
    I've been preparing slowly. I have all of my Vitamins, but am still leery about stocking up on too much Protein since I've read our taste buds can change after surgery. Don't want to be stuck with something that's disgusting! I haven't purchased a single thing for the pre-op diet because they haven't told me what I will be having.

    My pre-surgery appointment is the 18th - we have a group appointment when we go over the diet etc., then an appointment with the psychologist, then the surgeon to review everything and ask any questions, and last of all we go over and pre-register @ the hospital.

    I'm excited and nervous!! I fear the foamies!! I've read some experiences with it and it appears to be dreadful! I am also not looking forward to the Lovenox Injections we have to do. It appears that things can either be super easy or super awful, but after a while it seems to settle for everyone. It's getting closer!! Our lives are about to change! 🙌🏼

    Hey Poppygirl, I'm a bit overwhelmed also! Trying to stay positive. I'm having Hernia Surgery @ the same time so I have left it @ that - I'm having surgery to repair a bad hernia. I don't really want to share what I'm doing with everyone as I have enough to worry about than what everyone will think. 😉

    PCOSSUCKS,

    That is so scary! I don't understand what caused it, and it's definitely not something you should have had to go through or your family! Wow just wow. Certainly hope for smooth sailing from here on out for you! ❤️❤️

    Nnori I hope Dr Tom S will excuse us mangling his name, shame it isn't Smith, Jones or White, those the smartphone will let me spell right. Trying to get my last 1/2 hour in on my C pap, I didn't sleep well last night so I kept getting up and doing something else to tire down.
