I'm just feeling happy and relieved that I have finally scheduled my takedown, for June 16th.

I know, from the many helpful posts on the site, that the takedown can be rough, but I'm approaching this with the attitude that it's going to be just fine.

Anyway, that's my rave!

(I'm sure I'll post more - - - in General Discussion and Help! Need Advice Now! - - - as the surgery date nears.)

Yea for you. I keep looking for you to say when it will be. We both had our first surgeries a couple of months apart. I feel like my takedown was SOOOOO long ago already. You are going to be so happy when this is done. Takedown is a piece of cake. You will be amazed at how fast you recover from it. Just be ready to be patient with how many times you are going to the bathroom. It will start out being A LOT. Don't worry though, now I am at an average of 3-6 times per day and sleep all night (unless I eat something I know I will pay for).

I am very excited for you. Smiler
