I finally heard formthe surgery schduler this morning and it looks like I will be going in on March 13 for LIS. It's funny, I was happy when I herad that the CRS thought the LIs would work and help me heal and I was anxious to schedule the surgery, but now that it is impending I am nervous. I have the first of my pre-op appointments tomorrow.

I'm not sure why I'm nervous--OK I am--I'm afraid of the pain and the knife. My last surgery took months to recover enough for the pain to be at a tolerable level most days. Indeed, I don't believe I have yet fully recovered nad it's been a year and a month. I'm worried that I might be going through this for nothing and that I might be in pain for months again. There I said it. My worst fears. :pale:
The upside is that I trust my surgeon and he came highly recommended, both by my GI and others I have talked to. He is also a teacher and a member of several professional organizations. He is also quite nice and did his very best to not hurt me when I saw him last time. He is also very careful of his work and determied to cut the right muscle the right amount. He said I notice definite imporvements after the first bm.....but I'm still nervous....
