I was 3-4 months as I live 3000 miles from my doctor and had to get work travel out of the way first. Great news though! I am so excited for you. I was nervous, excited and anxious to get it done with. I had a great experience and so far, only 1+ week from surgery, it continues. My first...

Drum roll please...Good luck Mary! My only recommendation from being so new myself is just not to rush things afterwards. I have lived by that and have had a great experience so far. You will do great! -Lester

Bobbi Great decision. I just had my surgery on the 25th and am feeling great. I have not been on many medications so I can only imagine the thrill, nay relief, it will bring to your life, to let go of them. I was nervous, excited and anxious as I am sure everyone on here was prior to surgery...

Thanks Gloria! My journey has begun! So far so good.

Tom- Thanks. Yes, I already walked 30 mins this morning around my fathers senior community. Nice and slow but it felt good. I found it hard to get in enough water the first day out but today is my first full day at "home" and I am just going to baby sip continously. I am not going to push it or...

Mary, good for you!! It will be worth it. I can already tell I made the best decision of my life. If you were not nervous, anxious, etc, it would be weird. Just know that it is for you and you will benefit from it. You will be great!

Thanks. I am catching up on some work before heading over to the hospital (keeps me busy and focused on something other than what is coming lol). I appreciate your support. Details will follow... :-) -Lester

Patty- Mine is tomorrow so I know how you feel. I just think about the future and how great it will be. Yes, there may be small roadblocks in the way, that is all they are and will not stop us from meeting our goals. Best wishes on everything! Lester

You rock. Hang in there! Lester

Good for you. Mine is tomorrow so I am just a few days ahead of you. Good luck and I am sure we both will be happier when it is over. I keep thinking of what is to come - think ahead. It will all be worth it. Be well! Lester

Thanks Donna. I am back from the Pre-Op and I am ready to rock so I will be sure to post after the procedure. Thanks for the good wishes. Lester

Thanks Tom. I am sure it will be fine. I am in a good place emotionally so I am very hopeful. I appreciate your good wishes. Lester

Hi everyone I just thought i would say hi. I just joined the forums but have learned a lot while getting ready for my surgery tomorrow. Kinda nervous, kinda anxious but very excited. I hope to chime in as often as time allows to learn more from you all. You are all amazing! Cheers...
