I got my operation date today...August 27th with Mr Chris HENSMAN :thumbup:...still have to confirm with work but I am sure there will be no problem with that. It was the first time I've allowed myself to get excited that this is actually going to happen.

My dad and I are going in the same day so we will be recovering and learning at the same time. It will be good to have someone to do this with!

And luckily my birthday is next week and won't be on Optifast for it! And I have a few months to get on track before I have to cook Christmas lunch for about 15-20 people

congratulations on getting your surgery date.

Congrats. This is excellent news, works out all round really.

How exciting for you and your dad. So great that you go go on this journey together.

Best Wishes

Great news Roheryn! It'll pass in a flash, I bet!

I am sure it will....I just noticed on my ticker that I am now at 30 days until surgery!! Had the counsellor consult today which was fine. Just the doc and the pre admission nurse to go!!

Oh and the leave was approved...I love when my team leader doesn't ask questions and just signs away!!

When I first started on here, my ticker said 28 days and here I am 4 days away from surgery. You'll be there before you know it!

I just realised I haven't gotten the pre-admission call yet! Must ring them tomorrow and see what's happening. I've been in meetings all week and have missed a tonne of calls, but no one has left a message....

Whoohoo lellow! Today is your big day! Wishing you all the very best for an easy time and speedy recovery.

Hope all has gone well lellow. See you back here soon :wink2:
