Got a HOT date!

Literally. Met with surgeon today & date is scheduled for July 22nd. Middle of summer= HOT DATE!
I am so excited tot finally see some light at the end of this big fat tunnel, but I wish my husband was excited for me.

Don't get me wrong...best guy EVER, but he worries enough for the both of us. All he can think about is the "what if's". He is so afraid of something happening to me in surgery that he can't see that I have slowly been digging my own grave for the past decade.

I am taking him to the surgeons info seminar on Wednesday. I found it extremely motivating and inspiring, and it validated my decision. I hope he gets the same thing out of it that I did, and sees the benefits of the surgery instead of freaking out even more. Am I making a smart decision by taking him?

YES, absolutely! The risk of complications is there, but the probability is very low. Best wishes!

I did that too, with my husband. He also was hesitant and had many reservations because of the "what if" thinking. The seminar was great, because he not only could ask all of his questions, but hear everyone else ask things he was hesitant to ask or had not realized were concerning him. He did a real turnaround, and is very much more supportive now. I hope the same happens for you!
