Hi everyone,
Hi I have my 1st appointment with Dr. Wynn and her associate on 4/8.I'm bringing my partner who has already had the surgery done thru another Dr.I'm very nervous and apprehensive about this even though 1 family member has been through it.Shes in good health so the risk was low for her,however i'm not in good health so I know the risk will be that much greater.So throw some positive karma my way.
Hi Denise,
Good morning and welcome! I hope you find your experience with Dr's Wynn and Irgau to be as good as mine were. ( I am sure the rest on the board will agree they are the best ) It's good to bring someone with you for support and it's even better that she has been through it herself. Good luck on your consultation and make sure you post and keep us updated on your progress.

Hi Denise.....and welcome!!
I also had my consultation with Dr. Wynn. She is awesome and will take to you as a person, not as Doctor-Patient. She is very easy to talk to and she'll answer any questions that you have. I brought my mother with me to my consultation in January and now my Mother is more relaxed about me going through with this. At first she was nervous because people were telling her things about the procedure without even researching it first! Dr. Wynn is awesome, I think that you will really like her!! Good Luck!

Hi all,
Thanks for the positive karma everyone.I had my appointment today with Dr Irgau....he seems very nice and knowledgable and put me at ease right away.He has a very calm way about him.He said it could take up to 8 months from the initial consult to surgery date.Is it true it can take that long?
Denise,
I don't know if I said WELCOME, so.....welcome to this wonderful place!
How long it takes till your surgery depends on a lot of variables. From my initial consult with Dr Wynn to my surgery ( in 5 days) was about 6 1/2 months. Time will pass faster than you could imagine! With all of your tests and clearances and PMRI.....you'll be done your surgery before you know it! Enjoy the time, and stick around here. There are a lot of great people with tons of different experiences!!! Don't be afraid to ask questions. We're not the doctors, but we've been there or are going through it or are wanting to ask the same questions!
