Got my surgery date - Oct. 3rd!
I got the call I've been waiting for today - my surgery will be Wednesday, October 3rd! It feels surreal but will get more real on Monday when I start Opti. It's been a 15-month wait since I started this process and it's hard to believe that it is just around the corner now. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.
