Congrats! I've got my date too on 21st May and I'm really excited, it couldn't come soon enough but I sway between anxiety and excitement every few days which I suppose is to be expected. Just had the surgeon's secretary ring me to get more details from me (to send the invoice!) as I'm self funding, so I'm being very nice to hubby at the moment as he's now really come round and is being quite supportive too.
I spoke to my mum today and she was surprisingly really supportive aswell, not worrying about the surgery at all just said 'if I was your age, I'd do it too' so I say let's take this opportunity to finally crack our weight problem and get the life we want.
