Hello I am from Weston, WV. I am very happy about your progress. I have been looking into surgery myself and I have an appointment Monday, Jan 16 with a surgeon. I would be very interested in keeping in touch with you and may have lots of questions for you and I would like to be a support for you if you need it, because I may need the support in the future if I get approved for surgery also. Again congrats on your progress.

We are over 100 miles east of Morgantown so the group is not practical for us. Curt
