I got a date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippeeeeee....after 4 months, I got a date- Nov 19th! I am so happy but scared to death. Is that normal? I feel like I have been waiting for this forever and now its here and I am very scared and nervous. Well I will keep you all updated.

Congrats on getting the date! Yes your scared feelings are normal. The closer you get to the actual date it gets better. This is because of all the planning that needs to be done while you're in the hosp and the care afterwards. Best of luck to you! John

Thanks for your post John. I am feeling a little bit better as each day passes. What stage are you in?

congrats jennifer, i am in largo...my surgery is friday. good luck with your surgery!!! melinda

Wow, this friday. I wish you the best of luck and I will say a prayer for you. Please give us updates on how everything went, I would love to keep in touch since we are so close! I am in Tampa.

That is GREAT news! Congratulations - that is just around the corner! I totally understand how you are feeling - all the emotions you are going through are normal. Once I was approved I too was super nervous up until just a couple days before my surgery. If you have any concerns feel free to contact me. Best of luck on your surgery - soon you will be on the losing side.

I'm so happy for you!!!! I haven't been there yet, but I have had surgery before and was shaking like a leaf lying on the operating table. So, I would have to say that it is VERY normal to be scared. I'm gonna need a rubber mallet to the head when I get my date. I wish you all the best!

congrats....my surgery is 13 days and counting, and i am excited but nervous. keep your chin up, concentrate on getting things ready to go, and it wil be here before you know it. best wishes
