Great news. I am glad you feel great. Looks can be deceiving as your body still has hell of a lot healing to do. I am the same, people are complementing, but inside is whole another situation. Just take it easy...

Day 0: Preoperative testing done today. Then ate lunch outdoors with hubby in Central Park - loved the experience! Trying to stay calm and positive. Giving it all to God. Tomorrow morning is game day!

Wishing you a smooth journey through surgery and recovery!
Thank you marie
You are in the best place possible. I had Ross procedure there a year ago. Every single person I dealt with was amazing there. Prayers for a smooth recovery. Don't let the little hiccups along the way get you down though. You got this!!!
Violet, you are going to do absolutely amazing! Let your mind be at ease, breathe easy tonight, and go in there tomorrow with a smile on your face :) we will be here waiting for you on the other side :)
Wishing you well tomorrow and look forward to hearing of your success soon!
You did well by having a nice lunch and enjoyed the day. Best wishes for a successful surgery and uneventful recovery. Godspeed.
