So I went for my orientation.  Boy it was a looong three hours.  There was a guy snoring beside me and then talking on his cell phone.  The funny thing was that he wasn't even part of the orientation, just finding somewhere to sit!  There was a lot of useful information.  A few people disappeared midway through.  Not sure if they decided against the surgery or if they got bored and left.  So, step one is complete.  Just have to try and patiently wait for the rest.

I had mine in November and I had already started reading some of the posts on here, so I wasn't suprised hearing some of the information. I can remember watching some of the peoples' faces when the nurse talked about certain things, thinking to myself " yep I already knew that".

Now, it is just a hurry up and wait, but at least the process has started
