OMG I finally got my date, Tuesday, April 9th It's going down at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. I got my date yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy me!!!! They actually wanted to do it March 28th but that gives me no time to get my medical clearance from my primary care and get my last minute stuff done like my FMLA papers and hubby's time off from work.

I am so excited and nervous but i have 3 weeks to pull it together. OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Thank you all so much lmao @ mommastew girl you made me bust out laughing but i totally agree with you. I had to stay on them today and reiterate my timeline for having this done while things are slow at work. In short they didn't call me - i called them 5 times today and finally they gave me the date.

I have the preop class on the 25th at which time i will give them the clearance from the doctor then my preop labs on the same day and from there i can just relax until surgery day. How is it that i am so elated yet nervous at the same time? I just want to feel the joy of it all.
