okay so i went and did the consult with the surgeon on memorial day, and today i got the phone call saying that yes on june 27th they would approve me for surgery:thumbup: Now im kinda freakin out, we are military and stationed in Schweinfurt Germany. Ive been following close everyones experience at the hospital but i worry about the day for me because of the language barrier and different culture. Im kinda freakin out cause wholly cow what if something goes wrong you know. the hospital is 2 hours away in frankfurt germany and I just can't get their quick. On top of this i have to go on the the 26th and to have the tests done. upper gi, ekg, etc and stay the night because of the distance and have the surgery on the 27th then get released on the 28th and my husband cannot stay with me. German hospital policy, so he will drop me off on thursday and pick me up on saturday:crying: Whlly cow im seriously havintg a panic attack. We also have a lil boy and he needs to be able to stay home and take care of him. geesh okay sorry guys im done ranting now, i will take deep calming breaths and center my chi now:biggrin2:

CONGRATS HUN!!!

i wish you all the best with your surgery, if you are worried about the language barrier couldnt you talk to the hospital to get some reassurance. Ive been over the germany before and i must say they speak better english than what i do (and i live in england)!! lol
