Yay, contrats! I haven't had my pre-op yet. I'm scheduled for the 21st for my pre-op. From what I hear, it's about 2 weeks prior to surgery.

I truly believe that if you go into your surgery with a positive "can do" attitude, you've got half the battle won. Thinking positive and telling yourself everything you "can do" instead of what you "can't do", will carry you a very long way.

Best wishes and speedy recoveries to all you beautiful ladies!

Dec 3 (pending insurance approval) for me too! Anxious and excited.

I am scheduled on December 1! I have my pre op visit next Wednesday. I would like to keep in touch to this group ????
