Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Colleen, all I can tell you is that for me, it was definitely worth it, and it's only been 6 weeks. Each person has different experiences, but I breezed through the surgery and post-op, and am feeling better every day. 8 days to go, and you'll be there! Know that all of us will be thinking of you, and if you need to vent about any fears, etc. do so. The more you know about the surgery and process afterwards, the more successful you'll be. As many have said on here, over and over, the surgery is a tool, but we need to do our part to make it work. And I'm sure you've seen on here so many successful people. It energizes me.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Keri, you've never seen my house so clean as before the surgery. I thought I had to have everything done, so I could lay back and heal after the surgery. But when I got home, I still had as much energy. I think my mind was so elated that I'd been given this chance, my body just followed along. I think everyone has worries about what if something happens, me included.
