KatieCali 1 Posted April 16, 2013 My surgery has been scheduled for May 13th. Any words of wisdom?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sara-seeking-sleeve 76 Posted April 16, 2013 Read as much as you can...the good and the bad. It's life changing in almost every possible way--- but for me it's all been for the better. I thought I was totally ready for the surgery because I read everything I could find about it-- but it's all sooo much more "mental/psychological" than I ever expected. Best wishes on your journey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkdiamondprincess36 20 Posted April 16, 2013 My advice would be 2 make sure u form great support circles. I had my surgery April 9th and I tell u u will be overwhelmed with information between now and May 17th. The closer u get 2 surgery ur nerves will start to get the best of u. Having someone 2 talk 2 that knows what u r going thru will be ur best tool for being successful. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkdiamondprincess36 20 Posted April 16, 2013 Be mindful about everything u read because every1 has a different experience and u don't want 2 let negativity make u 2nd guess ur decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
