Topic: Surgery Date: July 18, 2012
After some delays I finally have a date for surgery; July 18, 2012. Originally I should've gone sometime between last December and March. I've just started on my pre op diet yesterday and yes I'm hungry! I can't imagine how I'll feel after a few days.
Looking forward to having some friends to share notes with!

My surgery is scheduled for July 9th; the day after I get back from vacation! That should keep me busy and not give me extra time to fret.
Good luck to everyone!

im signed up for the 3rd at St joes in Toronto
I wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there's only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am.

Hi all!
We're in countdown mode. Still waiting on final insurance approval. Should know something in a few days. Going to my last np appointment prior to surgery. Didn't know you go on liquid pre-op diet, but that's fine. Just ready to get going at this point. Let me know how you all are progressing and the absolute best of luck.
