Im getting ready for surgery this summer and my Dr just informed me that I will also need a second procedure during my operation. I have hiatic hernia (think thats right). Which has been the cause if my discomforts. Im still really nervous, so im looking for a mentor of some type to be my guide and kinda of help me out. What should I expect? Is this normal to feel nervous? My name is Cheryl, im 25yrs old, a professional photographer, married, and I have a beautiful daughter. Im pretty happy with my life besides the fact that about 6 years ago I gave up on taking care of myself. I ate junk junk junk! Last year I started eating clean. Not dieting, just keeping a healthy life style. Its been great! I feel great and more healthy! I even lost some of my junk weight! But, it came to hault. Eating clean and working out just isnt cutting it! This is what I am doing for myself!
