Hello Billy and welcome. I had my surgery 1 1/2 weeks, it went very well.
Good luck to you, use the power of prayer as God is miraculous. If God wants you to have this surgery he will make it an easy journey without obstacles.
Please keep us updated and use this site for any questions, comments, or advice...Everyone is very nice and always willing to help.
Research as much as you can about the surgery, the journey to goal is not easy but I've heard that it's well worth it.
Warm regards, Carolbear
