Greetings from a prospective bander!

Hello everyone!

My name is Kelli and I have been lurking around here for a couple of months. I am currently undergoing the preoperative testing for the surgery, such as, blood work, x-rays, etc. We just found out our insurance covers it 100% so I'm pleased about that.

I'm pretty apprehensive, though, having surgery seems like such a huge deal! I currently weigh 247 and my height is 5 feet 3 inches so I definitely qualify! We live out in northern California and my surgeon is Dr. John Feng. I do not have a surgery date, but I wanted to join your group because y'all seem so nice and helpful! ;)

Pleased to meet everyone!

Kelli

    Hi Kelli

    I also live in North California (San Ramon). How do you like your doctor?

    I have only spent a couple hours with him, but I like his straight-forward approach and honesty. I had read about him so I know he is well qualified. That's about all I can say.

    Yes, we did make it through the storms! Thanks for asking. It is extremely wet here, though, we are safe! :)

    Good news...could you send us some of that rain? We're suffering from some grass fires and a pretty good drought.
