I contacted PDXMAN in July and didn't get a reply. I am willing to work with a couple of people to make this happen. Who is in?

Another Portlander here. Having surgery on Wednesday Oct 15. Would love a support group.

Melora - Where are you having yoru surgery next week? There are a few support groups in the Portland, Salem, Beaverton, Vancouver (WA) areas. We have talked about starting another one with the people in this group as well.

thoughts?

I am having my surgery at OHSU. I have attended a support group at OHSU. I would like to attend one that is not associated with the dept that is doing my surgery. Since I just found this website last week I am not sure what has been discussed but a simple meet up would be a place to start.

I am getting nervous. Went to my last class on Wed. and my endoscopy came OK. So now just waiting for the OK from my insurance and that can take 2 weeks. I want a support group close enough to go to so I can keep up the momentum. I think a library (as mentioned by another poster) may be a good idea and there is one in Cedar Mill area by Bales Thriftway.

Hey all....

Don't forget that Holiday Inns, Howard Johnsons and some of the hotels do have banquet rooms for meetings as well....

Just hoping to get some information on meetings from you. I am signed up for a monthly one through Kaiser but have yet been able to attend. I am north of Vancouver.
