Hi Joyce, I am 3 years out from my wls with dr. cole.. I am 1 week post op from my abdominoplasty with dr. cole. i go to the support meeting at the arnot hospital also.. Anita

Hi Anita, Thanks for your reply. Maybe you can fill Collette and me in on your experience at Arnot. I was pretty impressed with what I have seen so far. Maybe I'll see you at one of the support meetings. Joyce

Hi Joyce, Fill you in what would you like to know?? I did see Dr. Moon today and he took out my 98 staples... First time meeting him.. I try to go to each meeting. Some are the same . Most learning about the surgery and all. Got a pretty good crowd sometimes also.. i hope to go to the Feb 5th meeting. might have to walk to the meeting. hope its not to cold out from Lincoln St. Forgot to ask the Dr. if I can walk that far. Keep in touch.. I'm here for you... Anita

I am going to have mine done there too, just had the first appointment and need to make one for the intake. Where do you live? I would love to have someone to travel with to the appts. I am in Syracuse, thanks, Janice

Hi Janice, I live near Sidney, which is off of I-88 between Albany and Binghamton and about 45 minutes east of Binghamton. I'm about halfway between Syracuse and Horseheads. Are you going to the group meeting on February 21? Joyce

Hey Joyce, I will be there and look forward to meeting you. I am in owego so you pass me on the highway. I really liked Dr. Moon and my husband did too. He was very thorough and made sure we really understood everything. I will be going to the group meeting's in vestal. I missed this months though because I had to take my daughter to the ER. I am sooooooo nervous about all this though. I have a hard time with new people I get very anxious. But by meeting people this way it is almost like knowing them anyway. Hope to talk to you soon pm me or you can email me at [email protected]. I am always on during the weekdays and never on during the weekends. collette
