For anyone interested...

I have updated my profile with my surgery experience and pictures of my big day so you can go see what happened and know that it isn't too bad... especially if you have friends/loved ones around you. HUGS Rachel

Congradulations Rachel and THANKS so much for the detailed info on your profile. I am having the surgery Sept 16 (In Germany) but with all the details you shared...I am so much less anxious. The support you seem to have is just great. I wish you the best and can't wait to hear more of your story after surgery. Best wishes, jacqueline

You are welcome Jacqueline! I really can't make it to Germany to be with you in person, but I'm with you in spirit. I'll be having my follow up on the 16th, will be thinking of you!!! HUGS Rachel
