Hi there from hot Ga.

Hello everyone. Obviously I'm new or I wouldn't be posting here. I am pre op with surgery date of 10/18/16. I am one week out from giving up caffeine and carbonated beverages. Wow do I miss my Coke. I know, a small thing to give up compared to what I'm giving up post op. Just have to get used to it. And I only drank 1 can per day. That's the crazy part. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know everyone.
