Tentative Date
I'm tentatively scheduled for 2/13. Yesterday I was all like, "OMG, just get it over with so I can finally start applying all this knowledge I've gained!" Now that I have a tentative date I'm all like, "OMG, so much to do!!!!"
I'm working on a blog post now to sort of plan things out so that I'll feel a little less overwhelmed but everything left to be done.
I've got my endoscopy tomorrow. My last endoscopy experience wasn't super awesome, so I'm hoping that this one will be easier :)

Hoping your endoscopy goes better than last time! Good luck.
I'm having surgery just before you on Feb. 3. Like you, I was saying, "Come ON, let's get this show on the road!" And now? "OMG!? I've got so much to DO before I get this done!" Quite the rollercoaster huh?
Good luck in the planning stages. And thanks for the reminder about the blog post; I really need to update my own blog!
Wishing you well in the last stage of preparations. Onward to better things!

Good luck to you too!
Sadly, while my endoscopy was an awesome experience compared to the previous one, an ulcer was found so I need to do two months of Nexium and then get scoped again. However, the nurse said that I could have surgery very soon after that second scope, so here's hoping for 3/13 instead of 2/13!!
