This, to me, is my slow but continuous journey towards my success. I have a surgery date of April 28/05. I'm nervous and anxious all at the same time. My husband is in my corner but my parents are horrified. Needless to say, they no nothing of my surgery date. Only the fact that I "was" considering this path. I'm Canadian and have no insurance. I'm also not sure as to how to use this site, so please be patient with me.

Thanks for listening.

The emotions you feel are completely normal brilee!! What doctor did you choose? Where? What are your goals? What are you now?

We have alllllll been there and are going through similar things. The more experienced bandsters post here a lot and offer TERRIFIC advice.
