I'm not looking forward to liquid diet for so long but at least in the long run we will feel better.

Good luck to all of you going in for surgery! I had mine November 30 and everything is working great. My best advice based on my experience is to learn as much as you can about what is going to happen. If you understand what is going on, you are less likely to feel helpless and out of control. After all, taking control of our lives is what this is all about.

@@KylieD87 I'm doing great how are u. I'm ready for Monday.. I'm suppose to be at hospital by 7 am and surgery starts at 9 am. The information form says it is 3 hours. I completely forgot to ask how long surgery was bc I was asking about medications. My surgeon said I can still take a nsda but not every day.
