Hi There,

I'm new to this site and am very excited that I've found this outlet. I live in a remote part of Alaska and do not have access to regular support group meetings. Online is the only option I have at this time. I would love it if someone in my area started a support group and would really like to connect with people in my area of the world. I have just completed my final test and am waiting for my surgeon to submit my claim to insurance. This has all been quite the process. I live about 6 hours away from my surgeon and had to go through a six months of tests and appointments. I am very excited to be so close and cannot wait until I can finally take the leap. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, please feel free to do so. Thank you!

Brandy

Welcome brandy25! I like this group. It's a great place for asking questions and learning new information and getting support.

Hi, this is Melanie from Orlando, FL! Welcome.

Thank you ladies. Glad to be here

Welcome I'm new here too, just got my surgery last Tuesday. I was waiting long time for my insurance, they found any excuse for denial. They denial mine but my surgeon worked with them until they approved it.

Welcome and congrats! Definitely the best decision I've ever made. I'm sure you'll feel the same!

Thank you again everyone. I'm super excited and can't wait. Does anyone have any pre surgery advice?
