Anyone from Rochester, NY?

[petra1124 33]

I would love to meet some other people in the area! I have been hesitant to go to the support group that my hospital recommended as I have not yet submitted my info to insurance and feel like if I go to these groups it will get my hopes up for something that is not set in stone....

Around Rochester here myself. A little south by geneseo. Going to rgh with dr dibenideto (I know I am spelling that wrong). Had my nutritionist appointments, my psych eval., and my blood work. See the dr on march 13 where we set up the pre op stuff and the tentative surgery date. It is nice to see other Rochester people around! I too have been dragging my feet going to the meetings but that is mostly because I work crazy different hours each week and it is a haul up there.
