Question:
I am in Dallas, TX., scheduled August 14 for surgery, I am looking for a

support system to talk to about this whole thing. Is there anyone out there willing to correspond who is pre and post op? Thanks!    — June F. (posted on July 12, 2000)

June, I live in Carrollton and am now scheduled for August 23rd(delayed as of yesterday from July 19th). I have been comming here for only a couple of months, but would be happy to lend an ear or whatever else you need. I am currently not working as I just completed a 1 year course thru TX Rehab for Computer Programming for people with disabilities. However since I decided to have WLS, I felt that this was the best time to do it, before Job hunting. I check email at least daily(usually more often right now), so drop me a line or 3:)ttfn... Warm Healing Skinny thoughts to all:)
