Indiana woman looking for a pen pal
Hi Polly...
I live in MI so I'm not too far from you.
I know that deciding to have this surgery is a very scary thing. But I can tell you, being 3 yrs post-op, and expecting my 2nd child as early as next week (and had a very healthy pregnancy because of the surgery!) that it is totally worth it.
I'd be happy to offer you support and a shoulder to lean on.

I am sorry it took so long to get back with you. I was trying to find out how I found this new site on here. I finally found it. Thank you for replying.
It was April when I was suppose to have the surgery. March is a typo. But I got to the hospital the day of surgery and go in to the room where you wait and have the nurses to poke and prod you to look for a site to put the needle at and I totally freaked out.
I did not know what to expect or if they had done enough tests. Which to come to find out there was not enough tests. I should have had a sleep study done and did not have it so I am on a list to have a sleep study done. We in Shelbyville Indiana do not have a sleep study program so we are getting a new one a couple doors down from my doctor. So I am on the list waiting for them to move in.
I had questions at the same time that I freaked out. Since then I have been attending the support group meetings and faithfully attending them. I hope to have the surgery in March but I have also put this decision into the lords hands. If it is a will for me to have the surgery then it will be his will to pull me through.
By the way congrats on your new baby.
I also want to find out if you had any concerns about the surgery after you had it. I also want to see if you have backed out of the surgery as well before you had the surgery.
Thank you
Your pen pal
