I'm scheduled for July 16th. I've completed all of my tests and my insurance has already approved the procedure. In the meantime, I read this board every day and keep doing everything that I can to educate myself.
I wasn't anticipating what an emotional journey this is. Fear, hope, excitement, relief, happiness - sometimes changing from hour to hour.
I'm so happy that I found this board. It's such a supportive, welcoming community and I have already learned so much from so many of you.
