Support Groups??

Hello All, I'm just curious, how many of you soon to be loosers have been to a support group already?? My surgery date is Oct. 12th, and I went to my first support group last Sat. I'm SOOOOOOOO glad I did!!!! Everyone was soo nice and they talked openly about their experiences. They told me what I should be prepared for and gave me advise from their previous journeys. It was very informative. I would highly reccomend everyone attending at least one before surgery. Good luck to ya'll Renee*

HI RENEE, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THE SUPPORT GROUPS. I HAVE BEEN GOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEY HAVE BEEN SO HELPFUL AND THE PEOPLE ARE SO UNDERSTANDING. MY DATE IS OCT 14 SO KEEP ME POSTED AFTER YOU SURGERY. I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. HUGS, TERRI R.

Thanks alot!!! I will be praying for you as well!!!!!! Our day is almost here!! I wish I would have started going to the support group meetings sooner, but I was alwasy nervous and scared!!! I almost chickened out on Sat even!!! But once I got there, there was absolutely no reason for me to be nervous our scared at all!!! There was a woman there, who was 20 years out, from surgery. And she looked fantastic. It was such a peaceful feeling to listen to her and hope and swear to myself, that I will be successful like her, when I'm 20 years out! Hugs right back atcha!! Renee*
