Hello fellow Marylanders!

I live in Frederick, MD. My sister lives in Severna Park! Wouldn't that be funny if you knew her?? Denise O'Neal... they live in North Cape Arthur development. And my other sister went to St. Mary's (back in the '80s).

My surgery is in a WEEK -- Tues., 5/29! My surgeon is in Gaithersburg: Dr. Barry Greene. Came highly recommended.

Good luck, everyone!

Hi Michelle - good luck with your surgery. No the name is not familiar, unless they have a child who is a Jr or Sr at Severna Park high I probably don't know them. I am doing well. Down about 13-15 lbs, but now I anticipate being a slow loser.

My nephew is a Junior (I think) & I think he goes to SVH... Chris O'Neal? He plays footbal & lacrosse...
