I have a Surgery date!!!!!!

I went to see Dr. MacDonald on Tuesday and I am scheduled for by-pass on Aug 21, 2008. I am very excited and nervous. I need suggestions on what I need to carry to the hospital while I am there. I would also like to know what to expect from the surgery and the recovery. Thanks for all the help

congrats on your date... i just got mine also... it's the 28th... i wish you the best of luck... keep us posted...
