Well, I've just found this site and I'm tentatively scheduled for surgery on March 19, but it is looking like the 26th is going to have to do due to my husbands work schedule.  I think he has a training on the 19th to go to and I don't want to do this alone.  And yes we are alone.  His family disapproves of this surgery and thinks it is craze to want to have it done.  My sister in law's sister had the surgery and ever since all I have heard is how they would never allow thier family member to have such radical surgery.  So we have decided not tro even tell them we are doing it.  Next year when they see me they will know something has changed!!!
