I had a temporary date until I heard from insurance but now it's official and ins approved! February 13 here I come!!! This is really happening....

And your journey begins!!!! Congrats!

You have 30 days LOL and it will fly by! Get your Vitamins bought, ask your questions here, pack your bag for the hospital, get your food bought for 2 weeks after surgery. I did all this for me and my husband, and thanks to all the good advice i received here I was well prepared. It seems overwhelming but it is just in our minds!

I busied myself cleaning closets so I would not be sitting around waiting. I also spent a lot of time in the stores, reading labels.

One thing that helped me was a monthly calendar I kept in the kitchen, making notes doe pre-op and post op appointments. surgery, and I wrote the dates for starting liquids, dates to stop taking certain meds and vitamins, and the dates for different meal schedules after surgery. No way could my brain hold all that info!

Best of luck to you! Linda
