I just love this forum and chat room. I have found friends and comrades where I least expected to find them. I have stayed up late at night to chat when I am feeling low, or just cant sleep, or when someone else needs a friend or information. I have laughed out loud at our conversations in the chat room. In the chat room and from the posts, I have learned what to expect and not expect from this surgery.

Most of all I have found a place where I belong- A place where I can be heard. And that is a special thing, indeed.

Thank you for walking this path with me. I hope we meet along the way.

See you in the chat!

We love you too, Tink!

What goes on in the chat room? I've never been in there.

i feel the same! i come here everyday at least,even when i was on vacation:)

In the chat room we discuss various topics, both pre-op and post-op. Sometimes we socialize and get a bit more personal. Some of stay in the chat for hours. Others- just pop in to ask a question. We get lots of newbies and members who are looking for information and support. Being in the chat is both helpful and entertaining. It's nice to be "a part of".

Come experience it. I welcome you.

This forum is a great place to find real people with similar problems. there are so many people here that understand our common problems. Chat is a great feature and an easy way to meet new people.

I love this forum and chat room, it is so nice to speak with people who are going through what I went through or what I am going through. I have made many friends and I speak with them pretty much daily!

I absolutely love the chatroom. I've already made some new friends. And have gotten some MUCH needed help/information. Also met a very nice woman that sent me clothes, as I'm a single mom/college student on a limited budget. To which, I am SO very appreciative!

I would like to get in there. I've clicked on it several times since I joined in September but nothing ever pops up. Grrrrrrrr

I have yet to post in the chat room but I have been there a number of times.

It reminds me of the party line* my family had when I was a kid and lived on the farm in Iowa,(except more interesting). When I had absolutely nothing to do I lightly picked up the phone and listened to what the farmers were saying. Never anything worth hearing unless you're into talk about the best feces to use for fertilizer.

* party line: more than one customer shared the same line. You had different rings so you could tell when someone was calling you.

Seems like the chat room is in need of a little positive PR today, so i thought i'd bump this post and see what happens.
