March 29, 201412 yr Hi All... I'm on 4/3 also in Boston.. Did my pre-op testing last Thursday. My surgery is at 11 AM. I'm getting so excited, and nervous!! I'm spending my weekend cleaning my house. I live alone, but will have many people in And out if needed. Are you all scheduled to stay in the hospital for 2 nights ? They say I should be out early Saturday afternoon.. I'm going to try and pop on while I'm in there. I'll look for all of you and say HI to our new lives

I am staying in the hospital for 1 night. I am in NJ. I am getting very nervous! I know this is the best decision and I have been working a long time to get here, but I get these panic thoughts of "what the heck are you doing". April 3rd, just get here already!!
March 29, 201412 yr Hi Lynne! My surgery is at 10 am on Thursday. My surgeon says two nights, but I've heard of people just staying one night. Guess it'll depend on how I feel by then. I'm in SC. Best of luck to you, and please stay in touch!
March 29, 201412 yr Author I am going to bring my phone so I can get on the internet too! I am afraid to bring my iPad though.
March 29, 201412 yr Hi... Yes I'm definitely bringing my phone and thought of bringing my iPad too ??? My surgeon says I can't hold anything more than 16 oz's for a few days? Surely my iPad weighs more than that.. I don't know, I got my bag out to start putting my things together. By reading everything on here and what people took with them, I'm going to end up with a damn trunk. Lmao... What is everyone else bringing ?? It sure is setting in though. Quite the life changer, but by choice !!!
Hi everyone! Anyone else have April 3rd? I am in NJ.
