I would like to thank everyone who answered my post "A few 'personal' questions..." from a few weeks ago.  It really helped me to hear peoples' personal experiences regarding my questions.  Others must have found it interesting, too, judging by the amount of views!!

I have the money ready, and have been approved over the phone by Dr Keshishian's office.  I am, however, leaning towards going with Drs Aceves/Ungson.

The only pills I have trouble swallowing are the calc citrate, but discovered that I could melt them in a little water and mix them in yogurt!  I will be reading this board closely in the next couple of months, I can do this when my vacay hours build up a little at work.

Excellent! Sounds like things are lining up.
