It is best to get prepared mentally and physically and git'r dun as soon as you can in my mind. Don't weight around, seems like if you do you can always find something, Holiday, birthdays, etc. So as soon as you feel like you have a good window to do it, get it set.

having your scheduling appt in mid august, I would say right after school starts. That way the kids are busy with school work and will have their minds occupied with things other than how mom is doing. You should be totally ready for Halloween and beyond!

I was thinking like judijo and that it would probably good after the kids start school so you have the whole daytime hours kid free. As for parties, try to get a couple weeks where you may not have anything. I was feeling decent after a week and went back to work after 2 because I couldn't afford it. I could have used 3 weeks for work, but mostly because I was tired. After the first week I could do all my normal activities, just resting when I needed to. And it didn't take much to tire me out. I know we're all different, but that was my experience.

I'm in agreement with as soon as school starts. Otherwise you could find excuses for the next year with things that will come up. It'll just take 2-3 weeks out of your life and you won't be COMPLETELY bedridden...just more exhausted than usual so you can help with homework and even attend a birthday party or whatever...just take it very, very easy. I went to the mall many days when I was off work just to get out and walk. You'll be sick of being at home anyway.

They called me days before Christmas and told me mine was January 11- it was hectic and crazy but I am glad I had it done ASAP. My only regret is not doing this years earlier- so a month here or there wouldn't matter much. It's going to be hard, since there is always something. Just decide what you want most- and know the holidays won't be filled with eating....but you will feel so much better!

I booked mine at a time when my time off wouldn't be a burden to DH and when my mom could be here to help out. Just think about your "ideal" time, etc then prioritize and then just do it (hint: sometimes it's best to put yourself in a "priority" status for the good of all )

I agree with everyone else, right after school starts so the kids with be preoccupied. Besides that, the sooner the better.
P.S. KB, I love your new signature picture.
