Lots of them. I got my PM in an emergency - so I really didn't have to dwell on it before it became real. I started feeling better right away. Focus on how much good this will do for you, follow the instructions, and the recovery phase will be over in no time!
Best of luck to you !

Positive Thoughts & Prayers!

You're going to be okay Kimbo. You have lots of positive thoughts & prayers coming your way. From all over the world! :)

Keep us posted on how things go. I'm sure you'll be back posting questions afterwards. There is a lot to learn once you get it.

PS: I'm on month 8 (almost 9) with mine. Trust me, I was on the table still wanting to chicken out! I still have second thoughts, and it's too late to turn back now. LOL!

I just had mine on the tenth of Jan. I am feeling pretty good. I just have to remember to not lift my arm..lol! I was really nervous as well before i had mine. The procedure itself it pretty simple. I found focusing on my future health helped me stay positive.

all the best and a speedy recovery.
