Just wanted to say hello to everyone! I have been reading your posts for a few weeks now & finally made the big move to join in with the pros. I was recently told that I will be getting a call for pre-op class in January 2014 & should be having surgery in April 2014 (Guelph) when things get rolling again. Excited & nervous at the same time ...

Hi & welcome.

I was cleared on Sept 27/13 - but then I didn't hear from anyone so my mind started playing tricks & I starting wondering what's going on ... I know it is a long process but i just wanted to make sure they weren't waiting for something else, so I called last week and they told me Jan& April.
I am sure I will have many questions along the way!
The waiting is killer... but so worth it.
