Hey how are you? Im new also and my surgery is on aug 11 about 3 weeks away, so I understand your nervousness. I wish  could tell you what to expect, but Im not there yet. I can tell you that everyone who walks this road has been in your shoes and you are not alone:)

Thank you all! Everyone has been so friendly and making me feel so good about my up coming surgery!! Monday is my big day, But as soon as I get home I will let you all know how I am doing :)

I am going to be returning to work after about 8 days, I have a sit-down job where I can wear jeans, or dresspants etc..Will I be able to wear jeans? Or should I get some elastic band dress pants? Thanks everyone for the responses!!
