Hey everyone! So I guess this is the official name of my surgery and I’m getting my left side done first. Tomorrow is my pre op virtually. Then Monday is surgery! I will keep everyone posted and thank you all so much! :white_heart:

@Emmaann So excited for you. :slightly_smiling_face: Only those of us who truly know what you are going through can understand how exhilarating this is, finally having hope, a chance to be pain free, and a chance to start enjoying life instead of just managing it.

Please keep us posted. I think of you often and will be praying for a successful surgery and a smooth recovery.

It’s pretty awesome that Dr. Cognetti’s office does a count down for you! I love the “4 days until procedure” note!! Thank you for keeping us up to the minute, @Emmaann. I’m super excited for you, too, & am praying for a great outcome. Just remember that the results may not be immediate & may take several months to begin showing up. This is a surgery where post op patience is usually required.

@azapppp has surgery, too, but w/ Dr. Costantino on Monday, so you’ll be recovering together. :blush:

@azapppp - Sorry I didn’t word my sentence correctly. Both you & @Emmaann have surgery on Monday but with two different doctors. Twinsies still but due to the same day of surgery not same day & doctor. :wink:

It’s nice having your surgery at the same time as other members @Emmaann and @azapppp , feels like extra support for each other!
@Isaiah_40_31 and I had our first surgeries at the same time, although a long way apart!
