Surgery date scheduled for July 13. I have waited for 2 years for the surgery and now that I have a date I am getting so antsy. Any suggestions on how to calm down.

Brittney,  it is perfectly normal to be nervous.  I prayed of course and thought about the changes I was going to make in my life to make the journey successful.  Just have thoughts thoughts and plan.  Prayer is powerful.  I did something fun everyday that was out of the norm for me to do.  For example, I took a walk through the downtown area of my small town.  I played a lot with my new puppy.  I also planned what I was going to do with my old wardrobe.  LOL.  Most importantly I stayed on the message boards and talked to others.  Take deep breaths and try and relax.  Good luck Brittney.

Good luck, though I know it will all be fine. I like the thing you said about thinking abput what to do with your old wardrobe once it is all too big. I take mine to Savers which benefits Disabled Veterans and every time you bring a bag in they give you a 20% off coupon for the next time you buy. So I always buy an item or two of clothing that fits me NOW..and then the process begins again.
