Thanks everyone! I am very very nervous now. Excited but nervous. Mostly about the procedure itself, not about life after. I have never had surgery before, so I have no idea what to expect with the pain and that scares me. All I know is that I need to get my nerves under control because it's knocking my blood pressure into outer space!! lol

Jen you will do fine with surgery. I too had never had any surgery before and honestly I was sore and it hurt the first few days but nothing like I had it built up in my mind to be. Just focus on the end prize and the pain will be a distant memory when it is all said and done. Congrats and get ready your new life is just beginning.

Thanks, that makes me feel SO much better! I keep hearing about "Hell Week" and it freaks me out! lol
Awesome! I am glad they got it all straightened out for you, I know you were worried there for a while. Keep me posted when you get your date!
