GreenEyes604 753 Posted November 11, 2014 I truly believe that if you go into your surgery with a positive "can do" attitude, you've got half the battle won. Thinking positive and telling yourself everything you "can do" instead of what you "can't do", will carry you a very long way. Best wishes and speedy recoveries to all you beautiful ladies!
