Hi Laurey, Hey, welcome to the very addictive, living soap opera...."the board"!!! You'll love it here. Don't forget to check out the Q&A section. It is FULL of info! Also, the surgery pages are informative and will grab you by the heart. When I am doubtful, I go straight to the b4 and after pitures! What these people have accomplished is awesome! They are our hero's and role models. We're all in the same boat here and feel free to ask anyone anything at any time. Best of luck on your journey and welcome to the family! HUGS! Carol Percel
