Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Austria, Congrats on getting your surgery date finalized! My surgery took place at 12noon as well and trust me when I say that I doubt you'll feel like eating on the morning of surgery. I certainly didn't. I just wanted to get the whole thing over with. I also needed to be at the hospital a whole 2 hours before surgery and there certainly weren't people eating there so I don't think you'll be tortured by visions of people eating for too long:-) In fact I pretty much lost my appetite the night before surgery so eat as much as you can now! Good luck! Sara > Hi All, > > I am excited, and I just had to share. I FINALLY got my surgery date, > it will be August 11th.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Hi Austria, That is exciting news! You must be thrilled to have that date set and the huge part of the waiting game over. I am crossing my fingers for you on the insurance. I am sure you are calling them daily at this point. Please let us know when you hear from them as well. I am really happy for you! Hugs, Fran > Hi All, > > I am excited, and I just had to share. I FINALLY got my surgery date, > it will be August 11th.
