Hello from Washington

Hi everyone. My name is Den and I'm having my surgery on 7/11/07 with Dr. Billing from Edmonds, WA. I'm 4 days from my surgery and scared as hell! I know a lot of it is pre-surgery jiggers but I'm trying to look on this as a positive change in my life. Still the thoughts of the surgery, post-op recovery, financial costs, etc. have really gotten my thinking whether this is the right decision for me. I realize many of my fears are of those things unknown and only time with resolve them. Until then I'm just trying to remain calm and praying that all goes well. Wish me luck! Den
