Hi All

[happytrucker280 0]

Hello Everybody

My name is Patty, I'm 5'7" 270# and more than ready to start my journey. I drive OTR with my DH. No children. Trying to decide on a surgeon. I've narrowed it down to Dr. Ponce(N. GA) or Dr. Bagnato(S. GA).

If there are any truckers here who wouldn't mind sharing their experience, I would love to chat. How long off? Any problems getting in/out of truck or problems dealing with the bumpy roads?

Patty,

I can tell you that Dr. Ponce does a great job! My wife had surgery July 14,2003 and he has been very caring and thoughtful the whole way.

Fireman20...Thank you for the input. I've been hearing great things about that practice. It's a little ways away from my home 300+ but it's probably worth it. How's your wife feeling??

Hey Bubbame......Thank you for the welcome. Trucking is cool, a pain in the b*tt sometimes, but I wouldn't trade the experience.

Hello Kathy..Wonderful stats. Congrats on the onederland accomplishment. I'm looking to join you and the others there.

Thanks...it actually hasn't been as hard as I thought. Although today not having a fill and hosting a baby shower was hard...stuck to sliced turkey and fruit. Of course I had a small peice of cake...I will just do better tomorrow. :-) Again good luck on your journey. Hope it's all and more then you plan on it being.

Good for you Kim. Good job on the babyshower willpower. The power is definately within ourselves, the band tool helps with those other times. You seem to be off to a fantastic start.
