I am so happy for you. I know you are on cloud 9 right now. What a wonderful feeling. I got tears in my eyes for you, reading your post. Get ready for the ride of your life girl. You are going to emerge into the beautiful butterfly that you already are. Your beautiful already but, I can't begin to imagine how good you feel and the confidence you will gain. If you need anything please let me know. It's your turn to let your light shine, Ashleigh. I pray that God gives you the strength and guidance. He will watch over you and your surgical team and you will have an uneventful recovery. YOU will be a SUCCESS!!!! Gina

YOU GO GIRL!!!! You have nothing to worry about....everything will be just fine! Dr. O is a sweetheart, which you already know that! You have a week to wait......don't go stir crazy in the meantime though, LOL. I never got nervous or scared, just anxious the whole time. Remember the day after surgery when you go for the leak test, the nurses aren't quick to give Dr. O the results, but before you leave from the xray room, they will tell you if it's ok or not. When you get back to your room....wait no more than two hours and check with the nurse, see if they Dr. O the results and if they don't do anything, call him yourself....I did. That way they can start bringing your fluids, cuz believe me honey....u gonna be thurrrstyy!!! Also, they should pull your cath the morning after surgery, get up and start getting around!!! It's going to be an ounce every 15 minutes. They will bring you more than that at once, but DON'T drink it all at once. You'll be fine......I'm happy for you!!!! Christie 335/312/170

Congratulations Ash.....you are going to have an awesome awesome surgery and recovery!!!! Diane
