shumirai on "Info on actual s/r procedure"

I'm wondering whether anyone who has been through a s/r would be willing to share some information about the actual procedure. I will be going to Dr. Evans in NYC. I had a cvs last week. Is the s/r similar to the cvs? How long does it take? Is there anything that helped you get through it that you might advise? Anything you wish someone had told you beforehand? Things like that...
I\'ve searched these boards and I haven't been able to find much.
I'm starting to find peace with our decision which is a huge relief.
Thanks a lot!
