Oh... That's my birthday. I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. I'm not as young as you, I'm in my 30's. You are so lucky to be having the procedure at such a young age.

Thanks so much , Did you feel nervous about your surgery at all?....I really dont feel scared or nervous and I wonder if thats a bad thing ? I am thinking maybe its because I still have a month 1/2 before surgery ??!!!! I am actually more worried about my plane ride more then anything since its my first flight eekk

I was more excited about the procedure. I didn't get nervous until I left for the hospital. When they put the iv in me I got a little shaky. But I just kept taking deep breaths, and kept reminding myself of the outcome. My procedure only took an hour. I work at a hospital, so I knew that this procedure was pretty low risk. The fact that I was in and out of the or in an hour was confirmation for me. I was is a little pain, if I had to describe it I'd say it felt like I did 1000 sit ups. I really didn't use much of the morphine drip in the hospital, I'd say I used about 1/8th of my morphine drip. They sent me home with Tylenol 3, and I only took that the first two nights so I could sleep. Other than that everyday it gets better, as far as your diet it is very trial and error, you'll have figure out what works for you as far as your Protein.< /p>
