I believe Wittgrove also has a support group in Anchorage, that is open to anyone.

Topic: RE: Finally had the surgery

Oops I need to check this forum more often!  I got back to AK on 3/9.  While I was still in MN, I ended up back in the hospital for a couple of days ..spiked a fever ..they never quite figured out why.  It's mostly been smooth sailing since.  Down 38 lbs.

I don't know of any aside from Dr. Todds.  He is still having them and I know they just started having them in the Valley again as well.  If you'd like the schedule for them, message me and I'll send you the info I have.

Topic: Any support groups in Mat-Su or Anchorage?

I live in Palmer, but am willing to travel to Wasilla, or Anchorage for a suppot group meeting.  Anyone know of any?  Besides Dr. Todd's?  Dr. Todd's was a while back, so I am not sure if it is still going on or not.

Revision is a complicated surgery.  I'm pretty sure neither Searles nor Todd has done many of them.  There actually are only a relative few surgeons who have.  I'd go to them, whatever it took.
