Falling off the fence
Great news on getting an appt so soon! Just keep learning up until then. Get your list of questions ready and when the appt comes, don't feel pressured to make any decisions if you aren't ready. You can use your consult as a learning experience and go from there!

Ok feeling mushy here i couldnt ask for a better support system already as in here & i havent even had my 1st real appt. YOU GALS ARE AWESOME ! . 
There are not too many people i can talk to that understand how i am feeling about this . I wk at the hospital i am having my surgery i have decided to speak as if i have decided (pretty much i have ). I want to keep this on the quiet side at work because i get so much UN-solicited & UN- wanted advice from the people i wk with. All women & many , many Nurses to boot. ....small hospital is like a small town really i know im from a small town in Illinois . I need people to either be for me or shut the hell up . Most of the people telling me i dont need this (i have only confided in 2) need to JOIN me . You are not fat enough they say ......... ummm i have health problems & if I say im fat enough thats all it matters to me . I qualify....... i say i want it..... thats is the end of the conversation . So my key comments to them are Noneya & Mindya as in Noneyabusiness & Mindyabusiness. Ok thanks for the vent .......there will be many more to follow carry on with your lives now . 
Ps. I have read pages & pages of comments about the surgeon i have chosen ..he is the right choice for me if he doesn't do it i wont get it done . That my friends is the dealbbreaker for me .

Congrats Lee Ann!!! Sounds like you are moving right along. All of those crazy feelings are normal. If you feel like things are moving to fast for you, you could always talk to your doctor about moving the date farther out if it would make you more comfortable.

Hey LeeAnne, i know we already talked, but i wanted to add, Dr. Stelmack will answer ALL of your questions, whatever ones you have, just ask. He's very to the point and straight forward. Also sarcastic and blunt! lol. He won't sugarcoat things which is why I love him!
