Hi I am new and very excited about starting my new journey. I have gone to a seminar that the surgeon who will do my surgery put on. He gave a LOT of information and papers to fill out and all. I have filled them all out and got all my information about my insurance, I had to have a 12 month evaluation. And now am ready for my 1st appointment with the surgeon. I go see him Nov. 1st. I am hoping I will know the date of my surgery then. Looking for any information and support I can get and am here to support too!
