I will definitely be reading through all the convo later today. Now I'm waiting for my pre-op appointment. And the autiDHD that is me doesn't know whether to bounce in place, pace the floor, tap my foot... The need to stim from excitement and nervousness is real!

Reading through some of the posts (it's a lot and I'm new, I'll get them all eventually), it seems a lot of you knew for a couple of months or more that you were having your surgery in August. I'm a little jealous of that ability to plan ahead lol! I went for my follow-up appointment during the first week of August, and then they were like, "You're doing great! How about August 16th?"

I'm nervously excited about it. Part of me wishes I had more time to truly get everything prepared, since I work 3 jobs. But I'm also ready to fully be on the path to a healthier me. I've been listening to audiobooks and podcasts to try to mentally prepare me for this, and to also be prepared for if there are complications.

I'll be following along on this thread. :)

i'm new to the site, so I gotta get used to actually talking on forums. 😅
