Hello from Massachusetts!

Howdy, all!

I am just beginning this wonderful journey. Looks like I came to the right place for support and companionship. Which I'll need lots of in the next weeks/months/years :smile:

I am going for my first consult with my PCP on Monday (April Fools Day..how appropriate!!) to get the ball rolling. After that...who knows? I will probably attend a seminar mid-April and choose a doctor soon after. Can anybody recommend a surgeon in Western MA? I am all ears!

Can't wait to get to know all of you wonderful, beautiful people!!

    Welcome to the Forum, I am from B-town right next to you. Try Pioneer valley surgical with Dr. Haag. Thats who I am seeing. I only have one more group support visit to attend and then I get a date. Good Luck too you!
