Hey everyone, I'm still new but I have a tentative surgery date for October 1st although I wish my insurance allowed sooner. Anyway I have completed all visits except my cardiac clearance and one more pre surgical group. I am so excited for the surgery although I have to admit I am scared of the surgery of itself. I'm 26 and have never had surgery before. I am getting married in 10 months and can't wait to find a dress and feel confident and beautiful. Any thing specific I should expect after the surgery during recovery? Any advice?
