looking for penpal in Dallas area - four weeks until surgery

Hello, I am very excited to be so close to my surgery, but know that I will need someone to talk to afterwards. I'm also scared. I would really love a sort of mentor to go through this with.

Hello Carol - I am about 6 weeks away from my surgery and I live in Plano, Texas. I know you are looking for a pen pal with more post op time, but I sure would like to keep up with how you are doing.

Hi Carol, I am scheduled to have my surgery 1-21-05. I live in Sherman which is North of Dallas. Unfortunately it's long distance, but I would be happy to be a pen pal and help out in any way I can. I have done A LOT of research on this surgery and have a surgeon who is a stickler for preop and post op education and support. Let me know if you would like to chat.... Blessings, Carolyn

I'm in the Dallas area and 13 months out. If there are questions I could answer for you, just let me know. I'm happy to share. I know that it's a scary process. It's normal to feel that way. I even thought about cancelling the surgery the day before, but knew in my heart I was doing the right thing. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself. Sending you well wishes. Jenny K
