I just got the call about my surgery date.  They tried to set it for October 2, but I pushed for later in October so I can go on vacation after I graduate September 22.  So, my official date is October 16, and I have my final pre-op appoinment on October 9.  I'm super excited, and a little nervous.

I tried to leave a reply to this a few days ago but gave up after fighting to log-in.

Congrats on graduating and congrats on getting your surgery date!!! It's totally normal to be both excited and nervous. I can't wait to hear about your journey to health!!

Congrats and enjoy your vacation. I can't wait but I'm nervous my surgery is this Tuesday and I have been sleeping all day just trying to get my mind right. I have found myself finally looking at jeans haven't wore those in years and so although nervous the change is exciting and scary.
