I have my 2nd pre-op appointment on Tuesday and on that date, I'm supposed to get my surgery date. I've gotten all of my financial obligations out of the way. It looks like my surgery will be scheduled for January sometime. They want to rush me in before the end of December, but I don't want to do it until after New Year's. If I wait until January, I can enjoy an entire year of having my out of pocket costs maxed out on the insurance and can save a lot of money that way. :tounge_smile: Besides, it just feels right...a new year, a new band, a new me! I'm so excited (a little nervous too, but that's normal). I can't wait to get this going.

Tina, looks like you will be a bandster in no time. Let us know when your official date is set.
