Well, just arrived home from my pre-op appointment and have recieved my date for surgery!  I am feeling excited, nervous, anxious and then excited again!  I have been researching and reading posts for months now so I feel like I have done my homework but I feel like nobody can really really be ready for this life changing event.  It will be a learning process from "re-birth". Trial and error to see what the pouch likes and dislikes, it matters no more what I like, the pouch will dominate. The team at Portsmouth seems so compassionate and truly cares about us, the patients.  I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful staff.  Oh, my date is May 14th!  I go in one week prior for more educating and last minute issues on May 6th then the 14th of May is my day!  Woo-Hoo, long anticipated wait is almost over!  Thank you again for informative posts and heart felt caring for each other.  What a great place to come for support.  Until next time, take care!  Susan :)

Congratulations to you. I know how the nerves are...my surgery is Monday and I have way too much going on at home and at work, so my nerves are at about their limit. Best wishes, Penny

Be more concerned about your character than about your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you.

What great news!  Isn't it cool to have that date to refer to.  It's like another birthday for me, I LOVE birthdays as they are YOUR SPECIAL DAY, just like our surgery days are too.  :)  HUGS!
