I got my date.....

Well I received the call and my Plastics date is May 8 th at 11:30 at Clarion North! I am so nervous, excited! Now to wait the 5 weeks! UUGGHH!! It is great having the date- but I was hoping for April! I guess I will just sit back and ride out the wait with the rest of you waiting on your big day!!!! If anyone has a few spare 16's available for the exchange- I am interested in some! She told me she thought I might need 12-14 after the swelling goes down- I have not anything in 12-14 heck can not even imagine- don't ever remember being that size and I do have 1 jean in a 16 and 2 shorts! WOW!!!! This seems so unreal to me! Although my nerves are playing havoc on me, my mind has not caught up either- I am going to be so surprised I believe, after all the healing is done and over with! I want to thank everyone who has been here for support for me throughout my last 16 months- it has been such a ride! So many of you have meant so much to me! Thanks for the inspirations that you have given me! I hope that i can be the same source of inspiration to many of you new post ops as well! Please ask questions if you would like! I don't mind, I am just a little shy at first but really enjoy helping those that may need some support or answers! Sorry so long~ Hugz Dawn ANYONE ELSE GOING TO BE AT CLARION NORTH MAY 8? I will be there over night~ hopefully just 1 though!

Oh WOW Dawn, This is fantastic news!! !!You will be one THIN chick come summer- I am soooo envious! Your Dr. sounds wonderful- and I know you will do great! You are so supportive and I really appreciate all your insight and helpful tips. Your surgery date will be here before you know it! (((hugs))) Ellen

Dawn, how awesome! You will feel like a new person again once the swelling goes down. The time will be here before you know it. I am just so glad you have been approved and now have a date. Hang in there, the time will fly by. Karen

oh how cool congrats vicki

Dawn, just wanted to say congratulations and best wishes for the next phase of your journey. I am having a 'panni plus extra' done next Wednesday April 11 and I know exactly how you are feeling. I am excited but nervous. I think that is normal anytime you are having surgery. I will be off wor****il April 30 and not have access to computer but I can email you when I return to work and tell you a little bit of what it is like if you want. I haven't posted for quite awhile (I do get on eacy day to keep up with all of you) but wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you. Blessings, Connie 357/153
