TGIF......

Well I am a week away from a surgery that I have been waiting on for a little over a year. I basically gave up on the insurance approving it and found out the day before Thanksgiving that it had finally been approved. The Dr. is rushing everything through since the insurance is changing on 1/1. So my surgery date is 12/21 @ 10:00 am.

I have little time to think about it, so I have not really been nervous. I started looking for "chat rooms" today and came accross this web site. What a GREAT tool.

I am not on a liquid diet until 24 hours prior to surgery. So for me it is life as usual. However, I do have to drink a presurgical shake twice a day.

Any advice for me out there during this final week of prep and for the first few weeks after?

Just want to wish you good luck. After such a long wait, I'm sure it seems a tad surreal.

Id get any holiday shopping done, or any errands that might need to be ran, done. out of the way. so then you can recoup. Good luck to you!
