  1. I'm new here, and I just finished orientation. They said it can take 6 to 8 months before surgery can be scheduled. How do you pass the time? I know there will be multiple visits in between, but how do you wait so long? What keeps you motivated? I feel like I lost a lot of time because I spent months researching the surgery to figure out if it's something I really wanted. I decided to go through with it, and now it feels like a long wait! But even though it's a long wait, I know that I made a good choice and I'm proud of myself for taking the first step.
  2. I'm in Marietta Ohio...I'm going to the first orientation on Tuesday.
