***LOOKING FOR AN ANGEL***

Hi, I am scheduled to have my open RNY on April 8th and I am yet to have an angel. I live in Spencer, NY and my surgeon is Dr. McKane in Horseheads, NY. I would really like to meet someone that I can talk to when I am down and just need to vent. I also just want someone that understands what I am going through and that might have some friendly words of wisdom for me. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!! Danielle Simoens

Hi Danielle. I would volunteer to be your angel if you would like. I'm actually right down the road from you (Owego....think I mispelled in my profile). I a bit older than you. I'm 43 so not sure if you are looking for someone younger or not. Not a problem and it won't hurt my feelings. You would be the second person I "angeled" for so I'm not very experienced. Even if you don't select me, I would be happy to chat any time. My aol id is w8dropoff. Good luck on your up and coming surgery.

Hi Dawn! Thank you so much and I would be honored if you would be my angel. It is nice to know that there is someone that lives close to me that can help me out. I do not have AOL but I have yahoo messenger. Do you have that? My personal email is [email protected]. Could you send me your so that I can email you? Thank you so much! Have a great night!!!!

Danielle I also older, but could be your angel if you like. I live in Horseheads and also have Dr. McKane. My surgery was scheduled for 3/17, but was cancelled due to a change in insurance companies. Even if you do not choose me for your angel, I am available for you to contact and vent to anytime. Please email me anytime you feel the need. Of course, you can always vent, question or whatever on the board. There are many experienced people here who support, encourage and listen. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Brenda
