Hello, everyone.

My name is Danielle.  I am having my surgery at NWH on November 9th.  I can't believe how fast it is approaching!

I popped onto this site in the summer, but I really want to connect with people now that the ball is rolling, so to speak! 

Just thought I'd say Hi!  I look forward to meeting everyone.

Hi Danielle!

Congratulations on making the decision to get healthy!  Time does fly and in no time you'll be sip, sip, sipping!

Best wishes for a successful and uneventful surgery!

Whoohooo!!  They'll take good care of you at NWH!  If you can, go to support group next week, I went the week before my surgery and got lots of well wishes and confidence.  I'm hoping to get my butt there next week too. 

I love having an online group to connect with - it's my lifeline when I have a ridiculous question - or when I'm waiting for NWH to call me back (and they will!).

Best of luck!
Sue

 Hello and welcome, Danielle! You'll love Newton-Wellesley, both Sheila Partridge and Pablo Gazmuri are fantastic. Their support groups are fantastic, although I don't get to them as much as I should. I do really like them when I can go, though. 

You're in the home stretch before surgery, good luck for your pre-op if you haven't had it yet!

 Thanks!! I have loved them so far.  I have preop next Tuesday so thanks for the well wishes.  

I have gone to a couple of their meetings, and I plan on going to more too.
