Newbie

Hello! I don't have a date yet, but it will be in January. I, too, wanted to have my surgery in December, on the 31st to be exact, even though God had already told me to do it in January. I know that might sound strange but one morning when I woke up, He whispered to me that the first of the year was a good time. But being human, I decided to shoot for New Years Eve. Lo and behold, the OR is closed that day, so I'll be scheduling for January. I have one more thing on my checklist that is completed but hasn't gotten to the surgeon's office yet, and then I'll be good to go. I hope a lot of people join in this forum as more and more schedule for January!

I too wanted to do mine on January 1st - but considering I work in the OR and happen to be on call that day, that wouldn't work! So I chose the next closest thing - January 8th (my surgeon generally only does Bypasses on Tuesdays (so they are discharged by Friday). Good luck to you!
