@Cherylmilla I don't read the negative comments since my mind is already made up and well informed so I just read the helpful ones. Maybe you will remember my date and check on me ...Your pre op is the same as mine . Good luck and God speed with your recovery.

I'll definitely remember your date. Good luck to you as well. I'm sure I'll post the outcome once I'm over and done. We become a little family here.

Though I started in July, I really started researching and all years ago, so I feel more than ready. Scared, but that's just normal. It's still a major surgery. I've done everything right that I could. We have a good group (If you're going to Clara, we have the same surgical group). I walk and exercise, eat well, drink all my Water, and do everything I can to prepare. Once I'm in the OR, it's in the hands of my surgeon and God. I'll pray for you, please do the same for me

If you ever do make it to one of the support groups, let me know. The next one with the psychologist (the other months are zumba, plastic surgery, etc.) is in December. She said last night they may do once a month next year. they also have one in Livingston tomorrow night, which is right by my job and a little closer to your area (not by much).

This is a good support group, but I like to meet people in person too. We all chat afterwards. Hoping to make some good friends with this in common, because while family and friends can be supportive, only those of us going through it will truly know.

She's my nutritionist too! Dr. Rainville is my surgeon. See, even online, it's a small world. It would be great to meet you on the losers bench.

That's awesome. You have been through a lot. I know others that have waited 6 months, a year or even more. It makes me feel bad for whining about waiting, but once you start the process, it is hard to wait. Now that it's coming, some days I want time to speed up and others, to slow down (when I have my scared days). It will be worth the wait, in the end.

He’s the #1 doc in robotic surgery in NY/NJ. That eases my mind! If you’re the best At something in NY, that makes you one of the top surgeons in the country. I will see him tomorrow morning, my last appointment before surgery ☺️

I'm also on the site continually throughout the day, in between tasks at work, and would be on at night too, if my computer and internet would talk with each other. I need to bring in my computer for service. You are on your way! I'm very excited for you and cannot wait until I have a date set as well. Let us know how you come along @Cherylmilla and @november11
