Jennigirl,
Congratulations on getting approved! That is a big hurdle that is behind you! Soon you will be a "loser" too. Best wishes and good luck on a speedy recovery.

Congrats to you. You are so close to being a loser like most of us. Just remember to relax and take it easy the next couple of weeks and if you have any questions feel free to ask. That is what we are all here for.

XOXO Congrats again

Great news on your surgery date! It's such a high when you finally get a date. Then you go through so many different emotions. Good luck and I wish you a safe and speedy recovery.

Talking Congrats from a fresh post-op!

Hi, Jennigirl -

Take it from somebody who JUST completed surgery three days ago - you're about to start a great adventure! Let us know here if you have questions or concerns, the folks on this board are angels in people's (smaller size) clothing, who are VERY generous with their support and encouragement.

Hey - what's your actual name, anyhow?
