Hello!  I am new to all this and hope I am doing this right!  We'll see shortly!  I am a patient at Portsmouth Naval Hosp and have been waiting since Sept of 07.  I went to orientation and recieved my number (703) and now I am thinking I should get a call sometime in the next few weeks.  This board has been such a wonderful source of information and in the future will be a huge source of encouragement.  I have been "lurking and learning" for several months now and find this board exetremely helpful.  I have been taking notes and keeping them in my binder they gave me at orientation.  Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself.  Susan :)

Welcome Susan.  I am also a patient of Dr Mann.  I went to the support metting tonight at the hospital.  I think they should be calling you in less time than you think.  I think the are on 697 if I remeber correctly.  There are so many great people here to help you with anything that you might need just ask:)

Hi Marion!  697.....Yikes!  Thats moving right along.  I think from the time they call there should still be about 4-6 before surgery.  Is that a correct estimation from what you have heard?  Just curious!  Susan  :)

It is moving slower than that.  One of the docs just got deployed to afghanastan.  I saw Dr Mann in November and my surgery is not scheduled until next month.

Just wanted to say Welcome. There are a lot of great people on this site and everyone is always willing to answer a question. I have learned  a lot here.  I see you are # 703 who knows we might have surgery on the same day.  I am # 704. Gwen
