jillw8 22 Posted August 18, 2011 I am so excited!! the surgery was approved on Friday and found out yesterday that it will be on the 30th, less than 2 weeks away!! From first appointment to surgery is a few days of a month. I am nervous but I am ready to start this journey! I have alreay started keeping a journal and included the feelings that I despise right now that will keep me motivated and on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
