Good Morning TT friends!!!
I just had to write a bit and say yesterday was my last appt before surgery that just so happens to be in....... 5 DAYS!!!!!!!!How excited am I????
I have to pinch myself to believe this is really going to happen. From start to surgery it took me 7 weeks, I wish I'd of known this years ago, but I am so glad at 30 I will be getting the 'resolve' I need.
I'm strappin' in and ready for the ride. SO glad I have had you all to peek in on and answer my woes, thanks a bunch!
I will letcha know how it all turns out!

Make sure you know whats going to happen afterwords.. before you are in afterwords... Im not a big fan of the fast track... seen too many people end up with no education from their surgeons... but... I hope you can change that opinion.. Make sure you keep us posted...
Make sure you know whats going to happen in the first couple weeks... what you will be eating, how often (surgeons vary)...and everything else that goes along with it.. dont forget the search button..

RE: Jen
Just because it took 7 wks doesn't mean I didn't do my homework. My wife and several close friends and patient's of mine have gone through this process, I am in touch w/ the center on a weekly basis, been involved in the education and "homework" of it all, if you will, for several years. I have known my surgeron going on 2 years.
I first looked into this in 2003. This is not something to take lightly which is why it's been several years in the making.
Don't misunderstand the 7 weeks...that was just the logistics of the 'program' start to finish.
