How excited am I!!!! What a wonderful bday present!!!! I have been reading about everyone's experiences and advice for a cpl months now. I just want to say thank you to all that post their experiences!!! I feel educated and prepared for my upcoming journey!!!

If you are anything like me you are flooded with emotion. I was happy, scared, mad all at the same time. I hung up the phone and cried. The weeks before surgery were an emotional roller coaster - even though I new I needed to do this and had been doing a 6 month supervised diet. You will do great. Take it day by day. My fears of surgery were unfounded. I had very little pain. So far, 4 weeks out it is going smoothly (despite the 3 week stall...uugh).
I literally squeeled into the phone out of excitement when she told me the date! I thought she was just scheduling my last office visit before surgery and then she said "are you available on the 16th for surgery?" I was like of course....and I think I may have said thanks and I love you lol! I'm not really nervous about the actual surgery. This will be most invasive surgery of my adult life. Fingers crossed for all going well and a speedy recovery :-) I'm def more excited than nervous or scared :-)
