New to this site.

I am a 39 y/o male in East Hartford finally getting to meet with my surgeon, Dr. Robert Bell, on 2/9/06. From what I hear I should have a surgery date shortly after that, but I don't really know a time frame from this point. I would love to have my surgery date soon and I will keep you posted. Dan

Good luck Dan and welcome to this site. I too am rather new and I also have a consult with my (hopefully, depending on the answers I receive to my questions) surgeon on the 9th. From everything I've read and heard, the process can take a while; however, the wait is well worth the outcome. Stay strong, stay focused, and you will get through. Most of all, you can count on the wonderful people on this site to help you get through. Joe

Hey Dan - I'm new here too and I have a meeting with my surgeon on 2/9 too! Maybe we'll have our dates for surgery together.......... Best of luck on your journey - it's a pretty exciting and scary decision - but I'm psyched to have found the answer to a life long problem. Best Regards, Tammy
