hi, i am new here

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is and I thought that I would finally introduce

myself. I have been hovering around reading the postings and

learning a lot. I feel like I am getting to know some of you. First

of all, I want to send my thoughts and prayers out to Gloria and her

family. Next, I have noticed several people who have gone to Dr.

Hess. I would assume (if I dare) that this is the Dr. Hess in Ohio.

A few names that I have noticed were Dawn and Terri and someone else

(sorry I can't remember the name) who is awaiting surgery next week

and is concerned about being " double booked " . Well, I have just

started doing research and the like and I have a consult scheduled

for July 9th with Dr. Hess. Any of you who have him, can you share

your feelings with me about him/staff/hospital? You can email me

direct if you are more comfortable at threesenuf@.... I would

just like to get a feel for what he's like. How long to schedule

surgery after the consult (barring no complications with approval and

the like). Also, he apparently, though you all probably already know

this, has a partner coming on soon who is awaiting approval for his

License to practice in Ohio; apparently he is from land. I look

forward to learning more and laughing a lot with you all. By the

way, the orange spray story and responses have been hilarious---but

it does work great:o)
