Hi... I am just starting mine too. Yep older. 65. My only concern. I am from pa. Going to seminar on the 25 th. Ready to get started, but also a little scared. But I guess I would be a lot scared if I continue on with these chronic ailments.

Where in PA? I'm in SW PA near Pittsburgh.

Good luck. My BP and diabetes are both much improved since my October surgery

Hi Sherri

I am in NW Pa between Erie and Pittsburgh. Just sitting here waiting on the delayed game to come on. I have actually been researching for about a year. A nurse who is my partner on pool league had it and has been very successful, and my step sister also. Actually, when I checked it out, I finally talked to both of them and the dr I wanted to use was theirs. Got some info, but don't want to push or be too personal. 7 yrs for sister. She waited an extra 4 yrs to have the skin taken care of. It's great for her. No more diabetes,etc. so happy for her. Of course she is about 15 yrs younger than me. Glad to meet ya!

Hey Margie,

I am the one who always says you can't win games with field goals. So o.k. I am not always right. (Don't let hubby know that). Very happy this morning. We got the win & I got my referral. What could be any better? Wow wasn't that a game and a half with Packers. On the edge of your seat kind. Never ever count Aaron out. Keep on keeping on. Yay us!!!
