Jini, I am scheduled for nov 16th. I'll be just ahead of you. It will be great in a few days, don't worry. Ill be glad after it is behind me and I know you will be too. I've done my research and this is what i believe i need to help me, so i am ready. Good luck on your surgery and keep posting. It will be a very rewarding journey. Keep a positive attitude and say a prayer.
