I am new here as well!  Well, I've been doing some lurking for about a month.  I just started my journey in August with the seminar and have been going through the motions ever since.  I met with my surgeon and besides the 6 months with the NUT and my psych eval, I only need to have an endoscopy, scheduled for this Friday....then I just do my 6 months and wait.  :o)

I am already gaining so much from reading all of these posts and thought it was about time for me to become active here.  I appreciate each one of you and feel like I know you all already!  I'm looking forward to sharing here and both offering and accepting support!

Thanks. I'm glad to hear that you had a good experience at Hopkins Bayview.  I hope to be on the loser's bench soon.

PS, I am their "modle patient" in their Fall 2010 Discover magazine, check your mail and check it out! 

I have not seen anyone post anything about GBMC doctors and that is where I am going for the informational session this weekend, should that be a bad sign to not see any post about that hospital / doctors?
