Congrats. I had mixed emotions when I finally got my surgery date. I feel sometimes mines was easy cuz I'm self pay and didnt have to jump through all the hoops insurance companies make people go through. Anyhow, I start my pre-op diet on may 9th, go for barium swallow and EKG on may 6th, surgery date may 20th. I'm so excited, i hope this next 5 weeks flys by!
