Ginger, I'm on Higley and Queen Creek. I used to live in Dobson Ranch--right down the road from you. Nope--I don't post on the AZ board. Sorry. I might give it a try though. I have a group that I post with and we are pretty tight. I have found fantastic support there. I wish this board was a bit more active. I have stopped checking is as much because it moves pretty slowly. I loved Dr. Fang, but have seriously never seen him since the day after my surgery. I hated the hospital too and his staff is Way Way "too busy and important" to deal with the likes of me--can you detect the hint of sarcasm in my post. Ha!! And don't get me started on Dr. Juarez!!! My goodness!!! I have a story to tell! Ha!! Bitter-who me?!?! I'm kidding! I really like Janelle though. She's very sweet and promptly responds to my concerns and questions. I'd love to meet you. This is usually my slow season (January-April), but this year has been crazy with work!! I'd be too unreliable if I scheduled anything with you in the near future, but I'll check back with you in the next couple of weeks. Have a good night Ginger, C Leigh

Hi Jen, It's funny how word travels fast in a ward. I needed to get released from my calling in young women, so I had to tell the president..who also counted as my friend. Finally I was released..but it was accidentally that the RS President found out..it was overheard in a conversation. The secret was almost safe...till I ended up in intensive care and a 14 day stay. Then it was announced in RS because prayers were needed...and the rest is history! It doesn't bother me anymore..now sometimes I bring it up in conversation. Ginger

Virginia, Hey, we're neighbors!! I live in Gilbert. I have told noone in my ward. I have been very private about this. I did not even tell my closest friends, only family!! That is the way it will always be. C Leigh

I just thought I'd get this question for the day..or week going. I was just wondering, Did you or will you tell people about your wls? I started off not wanting anyone but a few key people in the ward find out that I had wls. How about you guys? Hugs, Virginia aka Ginger

Kathy what a wonderful blessing you have coming! We've always been told, "I never said it would be easy, I just said it would be worth it". This hasn't been an easy road for you but you're finding that it's definatly worth it. Congratulations! Hugs Melody
