Hi Jim,

Good luck with everything. I just had my surgery last month and have to say the process can seem a bit much but it's worth it in the end.

Best of Luck!

Hi Jim, I am in the process of getting approved by insurance (looks good!) and then completing all the tests. Wanted to have surgery in July, but I'm not sure about when. I've been warmly welcomed here and know you will be, too. Read all the sticky notes in each area...I've found lots of great info there! Cindy
