Topic: RE: Met with surgeon
Due to medical conditions it took almost 2 years to receive the okay to have surgery. I am very thankful my surgeon was as cautious as he was, if not I might not be here today. Take it slow and steady - you'll be there soon!!!!

Topic: RE: 2 year surgiversary for me.
Congratulations. I cannot believe it has been two years. It did not seem like it was that long ago that we were all on pins and needles waiting for word on your progress and going through the roller coaster of your recovery with you. But then again it has been quite a long time because things sure are different huh?? I miss your posts as well especially the call to excercise posts. Thank you for the encouragement you provide everyone including myself and for sharing your journey with us. On ward and upward this journey ain't for whimps that is for sure. Congrats

She is being cautious.
I told her that I am going to continue to do what I need to do. I cannot wait to get my NEW life started. It's been a LONG 6 yrs at getting the insurance to pay for it.
It's kinda good that It's not in Aug. My oldest daughter is getting married on Aug 31st..

Topic: Barix Langhorne First Saturday Meeting - August 4
Time: 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Place: 280 Middletown Boulevard, Langhorne, PA 19047
The Format of our meeting: introductions, including any WOW moment you wish to share briefly, sharing of sugervisaries and please if you are celebrating your's bring your props (pictures and/or an item of clothing that used to fit you), as you will have up to 5 minutes to tell us, how life was before surgery, how life has changed since surgery and what your hopes going forward are.
After the surgiversaries are celebrated we will break out into smaller groups as needed. The main focus of this group is post-op related topics and associated issues and while we welcome everyone to attend, as always, there will be a smaller focus group for those newly post-op and those still exploring their options and therefore you have the choice of sitting in with those further out or the newer post-ops.
We welcome all those seeking support, no matter where you had your surgery, however, while all are welcome to attend our support groups, other services, such as nutritional counseling, are limited to Barix patients only.
Lastly, please remember that some topics, and/or the need for people to feel free to discuss whatever they need to, are not for the ears of young children, so if you need to bring your child(ern), please keep that in mind.
I look forward to welcoming you there!
