Hi Jasmineinmymind...Congratulations on your journey! I too am scheduled to have surgery on the 22nd. This is mind-blowing that this is my first time Iogging onto the site to get answers and suggestions and the first post I see is yours. I too have had the same questions and concerns. I'm nervous and have this daily battle in my mind whether or not I want to go through with the surgery. I've talked to people that have had it, co-workers that have had it, I've read posts on Facebook, etc... but I'm still nervous and wondering if I'm making the right decision. So I prayed and asked God on yesterday to give me direction. You wouldn't believe I was eating dinner (Chinese) tonight and opened my Fortune cookie and my answer was there (see attached). Then I logged on to this site and saw your post...I think this is confirmation that I (we) must follow thru! Wishing you all the best!
