Guest guest Posted September 11, 2000 Report Share Posted September 11, 2000 Hi Jacque -- Welcome to the group! You are almost exactly the size I was before my revision, so I know how you must feel.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2000 Report Share Posted September 11, 2000 Thank you, Margie! Yeah, I pretty much feel like a beached whale and I hardly go anywhere or do anything because it hurts and it's such an effort. I don't want to live like this any more! I forgot to add, I have fibromyalgia syndrome & osteoarthritis along with my co-morbidities, so I'm extremely interested in knowing how this affects people with FMS.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2000 Report Share Posted September 11, 2000 Jacque, I'm glad you decided to come out of lurkdom. This is a wonderful place. Post ops share with pre ops, that become post ops that share with pre ops. This surgery has given me my life back, I would tell the world about it. So " Welcome " to our family. This is a great place to be! Take Care, Laurel I'm New > Hello! > > I've been lurking for several weeks now and thought perhaps I should > introduce myself.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Hi, Wow... I have enjoyed reading all the emails that everyone posts and thought maybe I should let you know that I'm new. This is one great group with all the positive support and help everyone seems to receive. My surgery date is September 2nd and since my Mother is helping me with the doctors 20%, I feel much better and I'm even excited now. Before I knew how or where I would get over $1000, I was worried sick and depressed, because I thought I was going to have to cancel my surgery date. I live in Northeastern California and my doctor is in Carson City, Nevada. I go for my Pre-op Educational Teaching appt on the 18th, and my pre-admission appt on the 28th. I know I am going to enjoy this group. My name is Gloria, but some of my nicknames are Meadowmuffin and Mamabear. Everyone take care and I'm praying for everyone that needs a prayer.
