I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited, anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....

ok I could have swore that my reply to the previous post said the surgery was today and not a few days ago LOL

Oh well Congratulations anyway!

AND Good luck & Congrats to all of you that are going today and tomorrow, seems to be quite a few tomorrow!!! Prayers go out to you all!

Victoria, Phillygirl and Chromerose, you will be FINE! I am a week out, it has been smooth sailing, and so far haven't had a moment of regret.

You'll be on the losers bench SOON!

I'll be holding you all in my thoughts.

Best of luck, you'll do fabulously. xox

Starting my two week pre-op diet that consist of protein. Hope for the best.

And by a week out, they are pretty much back to normal! Are you going to have a drain? I will have to have one for two weeks, not looking forward to that at all, but Oh man its gonna be worth it!!! A week from now we won't be thinking about any pain we might have had! Good luck to you friend! lots of prayers and well wishes coming your way from SC!! Much love girl!
