Hey guys.. I know I have been gone for a while but Ive been wrapped up in between work and trying to get proper rest. Anyways this past Monday I finally got my surgery date.. August 18th! I wasnt expecting to have surgery until sometime in September bc my doctors assistant said my insurance required 6mos in nutritional counseling when it was really only 2! I guess she had my insurance plan mixed up (Empire Plan). But It doesn't hurt to have extra counseling. If I am cleared by my nutritionist I will have surgey Aug. 18

So! I am super nervous! Mainly because I never had surgery before in my life and have never been put to sleep so I'm having scary thoughts that I might wake up in the middle of surgery and feel it lol. Sounds crazy I know. And as time is getting closer and the limited support that I do have, im kind of freaking out. Im having my surgery at Westchester Medical in Hawthorne, Ny and my doctor is Anthony Maffaei. Im just looking for some encouragement and some pointers before surgery.. someone please help! Lol

Congratulations! You will do fine. Will keep you in thoughts and prayers Good luck and I hope you have an uneventful surgery and recovery.

Me too!!!!!

This sh*t just got real, eh?

Good luck!!! I'm from westchester too, hoping my day would be in Oct. I want to enjoy my Costa Rica trip in sept lol

I too am scheduled for August 18th. I have wanted and worked so long to get to this point and now I'm thinking, wait a minute do I really want to do this? I know those are nerves and I do want the surgery but I am def. freaking out having so many different emotions.
