To the Rounds I Go!
The waiting is the worst, but you are almost there. Once you meet the surgeon, that's when it really hits you :) Once I signed all the forms and permissions, I was like, OMG I'm getting the surgery. It won't be long before you get the call and call them if you ever feel it is getting too long of a wait. I'm 2.5 weeks away from my surgery and now the anxiety is kicking in, but mostly around arranging everything around it, daycare for kids and someone being here with me to help out. Good luck with everything and keep us posted on the next steps. :)

Thank you so much! The dietitian I met today told me that I'd either be in this Thursday's rounds, or next Thursday (because she's away this Thursday)- so I'll be calling in a couple of weeks if I don't hear anything :)
You must be so excited to have your surgery coming up so soon! By Christmas, you'll be good as new (and improved)!
