New and excited to introduce myself

Hi Everyone,

I have been lurking for quite a while. I am excited to be going to my Social Work appointment on Monday at TWH. I think that I have completed all the paperwork and am really feeling ready to take the next steps in this process. Thanks to all of you for being so helpful and informative so far. I have learned so much from reading your posts and appreciate all of your sharing.

Welcome to OH. We like when Lurkers finally chime in :-)

Welcome from a fellow lurker and fellow TWHer!

Once I started having the appointments, everything started to feel more "real" - exciting times ahead for you!

Welcome! This is a great place with many experienced people giving insight and help daily. It's been a godsend for me.

Welcome!

glad you came out of the shadows. there is a lot of good help to be found here and a lot of benifit from putting in your own two cents. it is a great community.

(even though i am not always here i do try to be)

Welcome once more

Thanks everyone,

Just as I expected, a warm welcome! I look forward to hearing about how your journey goes as a fellow-TWH patient losingit_sa.

Welcome!!!

I lurked for about 6 weeks before I got up the courage lol. Welcome! One piece of advice I wish I knew early on was to call and see about cancellations for the nurse/sw/dietician appointments as this can make it move faster. Good luck as you move through this process.

I have read that and did try to call quite a few times but never got through and figured that when I am there on Monday I will ask to be put on the cancellation list then, thanks for the great tip!

Welcome Lori!!

I had surgery at TWH 4 months ago and it's been life changing. You're in for the journey of a lifetime.

This forum has been a pillar of strength for me. Support, crucial information and amazing friendships. I'm glad you're here!!
