Hey everybody,

I just go back home from San Francisco yesterday afternoon.  I just want to say that I had a wonderful experience there.  Dr. Cirangle and his entire team are the BOMB!  I tried to keep a journal while I was there, but was only able to jot down a few notes.  However, I've been trying to write down everyting I remember so that I can post it on my blog.  My boyfriend and I thought it would be a good idea to share my experiene with others, so that future patients may have something to refer to. 

To be honest, it was not what I expected it to be.  I guess I was preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.  Well, I got the best.  :)   I thought that I would be in a lot more pain and be sick all the time, but it all went so smoothly once I got to the hospital.  There wasn't much pain and I was able to walk around with my IV machine (hehehe) the day of my surgery.  It wansn't too easy the first time, but after that it was a piece of cake.  It got easier and easier to get in and out of bed each time to use the restroom and then go and take a walk.

I am so happy right now I would jump up and down if I could.  I remember waking up in the recovery room and I couldn't stop smiling.  I must have looked kinda weird, but I don't care.  I am so happy that I chose to do this an I am looking forward to a happier and healhier lifestyle.

Mahalo to all the ladies who took the time to answer all of my pre-op questions.  I really appreciate all your help.
