Dear Anita-nice to hear from you, and nice to have a "surgery-mate"-especially one clear across the country (isn't the internet amazing!). As it turns out, my surgery has been switched to June 20th due to a conflict in the surgeon's schedule. So I will be not just 3 hours, but also 1 day ahead. How is your pre-op mindset? In spit of being told to try to lose some weight prior to surgery, I have been eating everything that is not nailed down. It is that "last chance" mentality. I know it is not good for me, but... Has this been an issue for you? Deb
