Hi etorres - this is my first time on the site, so forgive any obvious mistakes. My surgery is scheduled for September 12. I, too, am excited, nervous, and sometimes even afraid. I'm sure this is normal, but when you're going through it it's awful! Do you have to do the two week pre-surgery diet? I think I'm more afraid of that then anything. So afraid it will be so hard for me that I'll give up. Good luck to you and I'll be standing by for more posts from you.
