I think we should definitely do that if there isn't one already. We should hold fire for a short while in case there is a running group but if we hear nothing in a few days (as this board doesn't get many views) we should go ahead!

I don't know of an existing one but I'd be interested if we had enough people. I'm in the Edmonton group on Facebook and I've seen mention of people posting to the Calgary group, but as yet I haven't found it. The Edmonton people seem to meet up semi regularly and I can imagine the support is worth any effort put in, this journey can feel a little lonely at times and to discuss it with people going through the same thing.... well I can only imagine it would be a good thing.

I was only thinking this weekend that we need a Calgary specific group and was mulling over whether it would be worth starting one, great minds think alike and all that.

Hi Deedee,

 I'd like to find a group in Calgary too. I will let you know if I find something. Could you let me know if you do?

thanks!

Hope you had better luck than I did today. Had me going for over a year. Did eerything he told me to do even more. Saw all diaticians, phsyc etc, then today weigh i*****ined 4 pounds says he refuses to do surgery because I didn't follow staff orders or get along with all staff. In other qwords if you don't kiss their asses they won't do anything for you. Says for me to go to Mexico to get surgery because he is my last hope in all Alberta. I work HARD to do above and beyond. and this is what I get from a surgeon who won't fix what his colleague screwed up on me. I have a slow bleed now because of a screw up and he treats me like I am **** I am beyond spitting nails...I am heart broken beyond belief. I don't know what to do now.

what happens at the preadmission clinic?  what type of tests do they do and why is the appointment for half a day?
