    Hi. I live on the northshore. Not sleeved yet. Hopefully in February. Surgical specialist is my group. Any body knows of support groups. I'm willing to drive to NOLA or the BR.

    I'm doing pretty well! Stated back at work yesterday. It was hard but I think it's going to be fine. I'm so happy to be on soft foods!
