Ahh just called my surgeons office to ask a question I forgot to ask him at my appointment yesterday (his personal rate of leaks which turns out is .3%, I'm happy about that) and the scheduling secretary gave me a date of 5/14! I could have done it a week sooner but my in laws are coming to visit on 5/10 so that would not be fun. Anyway. I'm a ball of nerves and excitement. ...eeeek :)

I didn't have the reqired 6 month diet that a lot of surgeons and insurances require BUT the whole process of appointments and stuff has taken 6 months so far. Been waiting since october/november. How about you? Also were you born in 1986 too?
