Oh my stomach is definitely knotted as January 4 nears. I have a pre-op appointment on 1/2 at 10:00. I've been gathering my questions. I so appreciate all the information shared here and on the hyster sisters site. I guess that the waiting for the unknown is always the strangest and most anxiety producing. I am confident that I will survive and heal but getting to the actual surgery is making me so unsettled.
