I have a date.....

....with a real cute guy! Yes, it's true! My husband is taking me to the Kid Rock concert tonite! But really folks, the reason I am posting here is because I have a date for surgery. It is scheduled for August 12th, which can't come soon enough. I am so excited! So tell me what was the best thing you did or didn't do to prepare yourself for surgery? Any ideas on how to make the experience a better one? Joan

WOOOHOOOOO GIRL!!!Congrats on the surgery date too!!! The best thing you can do to get ready for your surgery(in my humble opinion) is to start exercising NOW!!! The more active you are now the better off your going to be then...you'll heal faster, you'll have stronger heart and lungs...it helps with your mind set too!!! Endorphines do GREAT things!!! BEST WISHES and BIG HUGS!!! Deanna K p.s. Keep us posted!!!

Congrats!!!! That is wonderful! As far as tips to prepare...every pound you can lose prior to surgery will make the surgeon's job easier! Try to start eating more protein, and less carbs....you will feel so much better! Cherie
