How exciting, good luck to you everything will be for god willing. I still can't believe that I'm just a day away from my surgery. The hospital called me yesterday to confirm the surgery time and as I'm speaking to the nurse I had to pinch myself to believe that this is so real. This change that will come to my life I know it's a lot of work and dedication but I'm ready for it.

Surgery date Monday Feb4, 2013 that will be a date that I will never forget. good luck to you again. And hope to stay in touch, this forum have really helped me a lot and have answer many of my questions. Thanks to all of you guys for sharing your experiences with all of us here.

Good luck and God bless

I'm a little upset I should be having my surgery in 2wks instead I had to schedule it for March 1 on the count of having to make arrangements for my kids. At first I depending on their dad but since I'm refusing to stop child support he has yet again don't ask me or expect him to do anything. I really am tryim to b strong but right now I'm too sure. Last Friday I asked my job for advanced sick leave n waiting to hear bk from that 30days of advanced sick

Congrats to every who got approved. I'm just a LIL sour puss right now with makin arrangements. I only told a selective few of my surgery. I have one of my gf who will at least go with me to the hospital n stay all Friday with me I have a male friend who claim will stay with me the whole time. N the hospital. I'm just worried who gonna keep my kids for that weekend. I asked my parents n they said we will talk bout it knowing we barely talk they are really my best option

I also had to delay a month to get child care figured out.

I will say that I was lucky on that subject, my mother took off a week starting tomorrow to take care of my daughter while I'm at the hospital and I will stay in her house for the first two week. I could say that I'm blessed because I've had all the support that I need from my family,friends and even my boss told me to take as long as I need. Hopefully for you guys it will work as well. U will be able to find somebody that will help you with your kids.

Its really depressing to get all this way n have to get delayed. My kids are 15&6 they can't stay home the whole weekend alone. My parents are still together my mom is retired I don't talk to my mom as much but I do talk to my dad. I asked him if he can keep the kids for me n he said we will tall later about it n in my mind I don't have later I need to no now

Tell them straight up that you need an answer now, that you need them to be there for you that this is a life changing surgery for you and that they are your family therefore they are the one that are supposed to count with.

I sure will soom as my dad comes back from the super bowl n if they can't hlp I do have a friend who said he would b there for me but I honestly don't want any man watchin my kids n my home unless its their dad
