Michelle, COngratulations on getting your surgery. You certainly have travelled through a bumppy path to get here. Although I still do not have a date yet, I have been going to support groups to hear the expereience, strength and hope of other post ops. Thank you for posting your profile and sharing your story. Each story I hear (both the uneventful and the ones with complications) gives me the the further confidence that this is the right path for me. I hope that your coming days are uneventful ones with an easy recovery. One piece of important information that I can pass along that has come from those who have been there - Go to support groups as soon as you can and keep going, They tell me that your chances of reaching your goals will improve by 75-90% with support from others.
