NYC Area Band Buddy Wanted

Hi! I'm scheduled for surgery on July 15th. I'm so excited!

I love on Long Island (Suffolk County), but I work in NYC. I'm looking for a buddy (or two or three or twelve) for support because I know this is going to be a challenging and life-changing experience.

How are you doing ? my surg. will be 22nd, what diet did u do before surg. got any pointers, iam really anxious to get it over with.

My surgery is scheduled for the 14th of July and I too am looking for cyber buddies. My surgeon does not have me on any crazy diets pre-surgery except for the day before. I was instructed to be on a clear diet 24hrs prior to surgery. I am looking forward to it but a bit nervous at the same time. Would love to meet new people who are experiencing the same feelings! Good luck all!!
