[Guest guest]

Hi !

I am having my surgery in Halifax too! and my first consultation is

on March 21st. Who is your surgeon?

Feel free to email me if you'd like (blisstherapy@...). It's

always great to talk to others in the same area being in the same

situation.

Thanks!

One caution about stocking up... Be careful about buying large

quantities of anything. Sometimes your taste is different after

surgery, and you can't stand what you thought was wonderful before

hand. Is there someone who could go fetch some more for you, once you

check them out post-op?

To ryleighroo, I can't someone else here is having surgery in

Halifax! Dr. on is my surgeon, who's doing your surgery???

Cammie: I'm not going to go willynilly buying things, but I figured

I should have enough for the first few days. I'll be staying with

my parents for a couple of weeks after the surgery so I'll be well

taken care of!
