Anyone in the Boston/North area?

Hi,

I just joined the site a few days ago. I'm WAY pre-op. My insurance requires a 6 month program first, but I'd love to chat or meet up with someone who's either had the surgery or is pre-op and waiting like me.

Hi and welcome!

I am in Waltham (right outside of Boston). Where abouts are you? I am 10 months out from the surgery so if you have questions let me know. Also where are you going for the surgery or have you not picked a program yet? Happy Fourth!

I'm from the Northshore area in MA. I had my surgery on April 1st at Lahey Clinic. Every hospital is a bit different with their procedures, requirements, etc but if you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a PM.
