I'm so excited!! Lol when was your surgery? Or when is it?

If you don't mind me asking, why did you back out? I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday and I'm feeling a bit like a flight risk. I know I need/want to do it and I would be so mad at myself if I backed out. Just scared of the unknown I guess. Talk me down. Haha

Good luck with your approval!!

Oh and it took 16 days for me to get approved. GL!

Yes very true I so cannot wait I've had different surgeries in the past & they are never as bad as it seems!! Keep us up to date!! & good luck!!!

Thank you! This is my first surgery so I'm a little nervous. But it will be good. Any step in the right direction is improvement.
