I can't believe this, but I just got my surgery date and it's way better than I expected. I had already written off getting surgery before Christmas because I'd had a few setbacks, and was already told by one staff person that I was probably looking at mid-January at the earliest. Well, they must have had a cancellation, because I just got my date!

December 17th!!!

That's in two weeks! (Holy crapola.) Start the 2-week fast tomorrow! My head is spinning!

Major congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ps, *love* your 'holy crapola' comment, lol! -- I *totally* get it)

@@della street It's just so crazy. I was all set for a mid-January date and now it's happening in 2 weeks. Insane!

I'm right behind you! 12/18!

I'm hoping for later in January -- can't submit until new insurance takes effect on Jan. 1st --

@@bobbyswife Awesome! I think I saw a thread and there are a lot of us that week. I wonder if there's a main thread for our time period?

@@della street Well I will cross my fingers for you! Sorry you have to wait to submit but hopefully you get a quick decision. The reason I wanted a pre-Christmas date is that I work for a school library and we have 2 paid weeks off surrounding Christmas and New Years! I am so lucky I got it when I did. I still can't quite believe it.

I'm right behind you! 12/18!

I'm 12/18 too!
