My Date is Set

I am scheduled for June 17th with Dr. Alvarez. I'm nervous as all get out!! 

I think you are going to do just fine.  Try to remain calm, do everything that Dr Alvarez asks, go over his list and check off things as you get them.  From the OH boards they say it might be a good idea to purchase a compression garment for the stomach.  I don't know if the Dr would recommend it, but it is something I will need to get for my long flight home.

Try to stay busy and focused, visualize your new self.  :)  Talking to Susan (who I am sure must be tired of me by now) always calms me down too.  I am looking forward to getting my surgery.  We can do this!
