Hello all, I'm from MA too and wanted to post on this board. I had my surgery at Beth Israel Deasconess about a month ago. Anyone else have it there ? So far it's been an emotional journery with ups and downs - quite sure it's all normal ! but some days it feels like I'm so alone ! But reading these posts assures me that everyone else goes through the same stuff !!

Hope to hear from people !!

Hi, I had Dr. Schneider - have a good friend who had Dr. Jones. They both seem like wonderful doctors !

yeah - that was one of the appeals - they both seemed nice and competent - so I felt like if I had to see either it would be ok - I didn't actually choose because they were both so nice .....

Do you ever go to the support meetings? I'm going to one this month. Figure I need all I can get !! lol
