I have made a few posts but wanted to update and say that I have made the decision to go forward with the surgery and I have a date! February 8th.

I am excited and nervous. 2010 will be an exciting year for me.

I feel very fortunate that I have insurance that will pay 100% of the costs, I know from what I have been reading not everyone is so lucky. Without that I don't think I would be able to do it. I will turn 50 in April, so what a great early birthday gift for myself!

Thank you to everyone who posts - I have learned so much, and gotten so much useful information from reading through the posts.

That is SWEET! Congrats!

You have plenty of time now to stay in the loop and learn and get yourself prepared for surgery and after it. Congratulations!

Diane, congratulations on making a decision for a healthier you and on getting your date. We are all for you whenever you need us.

Hi Susan,

I would love to be friends on facebook but don't know how to PM you (whatever that means :scared0: tell me how, thanks

Congratulations on your decision!

Diane - that is wonderful news - what a great way to start 2010 and you're right - what a great birthday gift to yourself. Hang in there and if you have any questions, ASK!

Congrats! Your date will be here before you know it! It's awesome that your insurance will cover you 100%!

BTW, to send a pm...click on the person's name & select send person private message (pm).

Go to the UserCP at the top of the page and it will bring you to a column on the left and from there you can find the private messages. You can type in Susan's name and send her a pm from there.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

WOW - never knew that - always go to USER CP and then click send message -- this is SO much faster! Learned something new today - will go to bed less stupid tonight!

Oh I have done it that way too. I do it that way if I don't have that person's messages in my inbox. If I have already pmed with somebody, I just go in my inbox and hit reply. It is way easier actually to just click on their name in a thread.
