    Wowsers, you are way more prepared than I was. I was just scared that I was too old, disabled and fat that he wouldn't take me on. I worried for nothing. He was delightful and I was a little bit in

So nervous. AND excited [emoji4]

Wowsers, you are way more prepared than I was. I was just scared that I was too old, disabled and fat that he wouldn't take me on. I worried for nothing. He was delightful and I was a little bit in love with him. His aftershave was so nice. As you can see, I never said much, I was to star struck

Good luck!! You got it figured out more than most of us who already had the surgery haha. I hope it goes well!!
