I've got a date!!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got my surgery date!!! It's October 4th at 8:30am!!! Scared and excited. A lot of mixed emotions right now. I am trying not to think about it too much right now because I still have 7 weeks to go. Any support or advice would be greatly appreciated. Hugs all! -Tiffany And good luck to all of you on your surgery dates!!

Hi Tiffany, I just found out what my surgery date is - 10.19.05 @ 7:30 am! I sure know how you feel -a lot of mixed emotions! The next 7 weeks will hopefully go by fast for you - I just found this message board - this website has been sooo helpful to me... I will be kept busy the next couple months - we have a grandbaby due the end of Sept and we will be watching our granddaughter while our daughter is in the hospital! I have been mentally preparing for my surgery and doing little things like cutting down on the sodas and caffine, thinking about getting "satisified" on a small - very small - amount of food - I am also working on chewing my food to the consistancy of applesauce - doesn't always work...but can't hurt to practice! Good Luck with your surgery ! Keep in touch! Blessings, ~~Monica~~
