Well, after 2 years of contimplating this I went for my consultation today!!!! The amazing thing is that I have really good insurance and and was pre-approved (of course pending pre-op consults) and scheduled surgery for January 11th. Wow, now what? It is it normal to have the fears of the worst things that could happen run through your mind? That is what has held me up for the last 2 years, now it is a reallity and it makes those fears grow. Of course the reason for the fears are the exact same reasons I want to go ahead with surgery, family, health etc..... If someone can let me know this is normal and everyone goes through it, maybe I can rationalize it a little better. Anyway, great day and a busy next 2 months getting these evals done and let me know what you think. Thanks

Hinster...you never thought you would be told you're normal huh?? HA HA...but I know the feeling. I am 3 weeks away and it is getting more intense.

Research is great though...know the risk but don't let the thought of them consume you. I was a bad girl and last night I went on here to the forum about complications...oh...not a good ideal before bed...I had nightmares...lol.

I should have read those after the surgery...yikes. But of course, for most of us, the risks of having are nothing compared to the risks of NOT having, right?

XOXOXO
