I'm scheduled for procedure on 1/21/14. Waiting for approval was hardest part so far. On my liquid diet now and doing well. Good luck to you. BTW-how do I start a new thread?

Srock--I'm using the app on my android phone so if I wanna start a new thread I use the button on the left and it gives me a choice to start a new thread or reply. Hope that's somewhat helpful.

I am from Missouri.

Congrats to you!!! Good luck!!
