Topic: RE: Not a warm welcome
Hi Crystal,
Welcome to the board. I know exactly how you feel, I started feeling the same way about the AZ board. There are some on here that seem to keep the tension going. I could see the cut downs, if they had their surgery with the surgeons in question and or lived in AZ. Most of us on here come here to get and give support to our fellow Arizonans. I've learned to overlook their threads. You can always block them if they get on your nerves..
Good Luck with your upcoming surgery, I will be praying you have a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery.

Topic: support groups
The older I get the more my memory fades. LOL Can someone please remind me of the closest support groups near the Chandler/Mesa area and the dates and times please?

I had my surgery with Dr. Fang last April. He is awesome. The office staff has been wonderful to me. Hope to see you at support groups. I noticed you were from Surprize. We have a support group in Sun City. We would love to have you. Interested I can give you the scoop. You'll do wonderful. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

No one is trying to "bicker". You are not aware of what was going on with these boards for a few years now. There is SO MUCH you do not know! There are some of us who are just sick of the hype and want the truth to get out.
These boards were being used as "gorilla marketing" tools to procure patients and promote business. You should be thankful that there are those of us who are watching and are willing to stick our necks out to inform newbies about "both sides of the coin", when previously they were only getting one side! There is a lot of history here of which you are unaware.
Try reading both this board and the revisions board back, oh ... 3 years or so, before you venture an opinion. I'm sure you will then see the point of this.
Good luck with your surgery and I hope you get the support that you need.

I have been reading and posting for about a month now. I don't know what is going on and try not to get involved in it. I want to learn and be prepared for when I have my surgery, hopefully sometime early this winter.
Best of luck to you. The only part I am really dreading is the 2 week liquid diet required before surgery. That must be tough.
