I HAVE A DATE! ! ! ! ! ! !
Congratulations! The time will pass much more quickly than you think. I was approved 1/10/06, but couldn't get a surgery date until 4/7/06. That seemed like forever. But it passed so quickly. August 1st will fly at you as you start making plans and arrangements for your time off, pre-op tests & class, etc.
Good luck and I wish you a safe and speedy surgery & recovery!!
Cindy
