Hello All,

Tomorrow I will be attending my first support group hosted by the hospital I had my procedure done 9 days ago, what should I expect?

Nice people sitting around a circle or table, at various stages of this process--just like you! Congrats!

It's pretty much what you see here on the forum, except its usually hosted by a PA, RN or Nutritionist. It's good to meet people that are in or have been where you are--especially in person.

There will be patients at different stages and different procedures plus some still waiting approval. Usually someone from the doctor’s office, my Surgeon usually comes with his Nurse wife and the Hospital nutritionist sets it all up and sends the invitations. You’ll enjoy talking and sharing. I know I do.

I went to my first meeting last night. It was so interesting! I’m 9 days post op so I don’t have much to share yet but it was a great meeting. Took notes

I really miss having the support from one of these groups. I'm a self-pay and I can't access anything local. So, this forum is extra brilliant for me to feel connected to similar losers.

Thank you! ?

This forum has so much experience I enjoy reading as many posts as I can.
