I see lots of people post their surgery dates on here BEFORE they have had the surgery.....when I eventually book mine I will *NOT* be posting it until I have had the op - purely incase I feel the need to back out or something else intervenes in the meantime....ultimately i think that when you're ready you're ready.....if you've booked it and its all confirmed you are already at the point where you don't want to return....

Reading good outcomes and stories on forums such as this is extremely encouraging and uplifting but when you read a horror story or bad outcome its counter-productive and horrifying......my general view is that you could read 100 positive stories and 1 bad one and still have reservations.....reading this forum on the build up to an FOV is prob the worst thing you could do..
