The surgeon's office said they will be ready to give me a surgery day either this week or next week. My question is for all the Jewish bandsters....should i wait till after the holidays and do it in november, or should i try to get it in before rosh hashana and suffer through all the food laden meals of all the holidays?

I am not Jewish but...I had my surgery on a Thursday...Monday was a holiday and I went back to work on Tuesday. I think you probably will be ok for company. Just be sure to have plenty of Water available.

I appreciate your advice. Thank you so much.

Got my date!!!! Surgery is scheduled for Sept 19th!! They are working me in so that nothing interferes with the holidays!! I'm in shock that it's so soon. On the 12th i go in for preop lab work and meet with the program coordinator for 2 hours to get all my instructions. On the 13th i go in to see the sugeon.

Guys....i'm sooooo nervous!!!
