I am on an emotional roller coaster, full of normal hopes and fears (I hope they are normal, at least). First of all, I am very grateful to have the opportunity to have this surgery.

I have dreamed about this surgery for sometime. For years, actually. Unfortunately, the health insurance through my job didn't cover it. However, like a miracle, my husband's company picked up new insurance...and guess what? Woohoo!! I made an appt, with the surgeon the day after the insurance started. Literally.
