Hi there! I live in NYC and I am considering the surgery. I have an appointment in 2 weeks with the surgeons at Cornell. Where are you having the surgery at?

Oh that's great! I'm having it done at Columbia Presbyterian. I meet the surgeon on Wednesday to set the surgery date. How's your experience been with Cornell so far? Do you have a date in mind you're hoping to have the surgery done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MzNelly 4 Posted May 3, 2011 I'm in the process of doing the necessary steps to get insurance approval. I've been contemplating this surgery for 3 years now. I would really like to form a small support group (i plan on being a closet bander). I live in brooklyn hopefully we can help each other through this amazing but somewhat scary process.

Dibley Dawn 84 Posted May 3, 2011 A closet bander, i love it! that's what I'm going to be. I live in NYC, but i'm not in my 20's, i'm in my 30's. I'm about 25 in my head though My surgery is at NYU and hopefully, it will be happening tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
