Well, hello. I'm originally from The 'boro, still get home several times a year. Mom's side of the family is mostly all still there.

I'm somewhere between elated and scared to death!!!

Same here, it's getting close! My Doc is Dr. Virgina Weaver.

Hey everyone - i had surgery Thursday morning and so far so good. Not too much pain. I have had some nausea but that is getting better. I can't eat very much - maybe about a teaspoon or two at a time. I've been sleeping a lot...and just resting if I'm not asleep. My doc is Dr. Westmoreland - he is wonderful!

So glad that you are doing good. I had a driend who used him and loved him. I'm up in less than 24 hours for my turn at the knife. I'm in the middle of a roller coaster of emotions. Happy, scared, sad, excited!!! Please keep in touch we can support each other through this journey.
