 I'm willing, I haven't had surgery yet. I wont know that for a few more days. Dr. John Pender 

Hi Lisa, great pick in docs.  Dr. Pender is really good.

As for this study, you could contact them and let them know you're interested and they can let you know if you would be eligible to participate when you have your surgery.

Good luck!

I am actually in this study right now.  I've had all the tests done and they were not bad.  Because I live so far away from Greenville, they are working with me in the exercise.  I walk and exercise at home and report to them.  I have enjoyed this because it makes me accountable to someone for my exercise and I was able to get lots of information about myself through the tests.
