    more stories

    HI ladies,
    I need some more stories, people really willing to let me ask the hard questions. I am having a hard time hearing from people and odn't know if they are just now living life or if they are so over it they hate the boards...but I am scared and confused and might be moving and having to find a new team to consider removal. I live in CA but might move to NC if my hubby gets a job later this month.

    I am only 40 and talked with an MD who scared me today....reality sure but I need some positives too.

    Thanks.

          I am sorry that the doctor scared you. Many people who have had the surgery are able to move on with their lives and no longer come here. If you have specific questions I will try to answer some of them. I do want to stress though that everyone will have a different experience because of the type of surgery they have done, different surgeons, different symptoms etc. What happens to one person may not necessarily happen to you.
