This group, nor any of the others I checked really has help for brand new surgery patients.  Bummer.

I'm 6 weeks out and I have learned a lot from this group.  There are people in every stage of the journey here, and I have asked many newbie questions and gotten honest, sincere answers.  

What exactly are you looking for?

Start your own private group and invite only the people you want ...  your profile says you had surgery in 2010, have you had a revision?  There is a revision board

A friendly suggestion to ask a few questions you may have.  It just might not be a bummer after all.

I'm brand new to all of this, still months away from surgery but I love to read all the posts.  People are so friendly and knowledgeable on here!   I have even asked a couple questions and have had helpful answers.  No bummer!

I am 14 months out, have been following this group since 3 months before surgery and I love it.  You should be able to  have all your questions answered, good luck.

Hi Nadine,

I noticed this is your only post this year. Try asking any brand new surgery patient questions you may have - I think you will be surprised at the answers you get!
