Support Group @Huntsville Medical Mall

I went to my first support group meeting last night and just loved it.  My fiance Ernie was also way surprised how awesome everyone at the meeting was.  It was very motivating and inspirational.  Thank you guys for being so great to us.  We will most definately continue to go to these support meetings... :)

I never attended a support group meeting and i have always regretted that decision. I am glad that you went and loved it and will continue to go, i think its key to success in this journey. I find my support here and it helps but i honestly wish i had joined a support group long before.

What was cool about this group is that there were people that had the surgery done years ago...but they still go and encourage or give advise to others. 

We have the same Dr. isn't he a wonderful person/surgeon ? I have not been to a group meeting but I really want to. I live in Florence, where do you live ? Are the meetings helpful enough to drive almost 2 hrs. ? When is the next one & from what time to what time ? Sorry for so many questions just very interested...

I actually have to see a doctor in Chattanooga or Birmingham cuz of my insurance...I really wanted Dr Mailapur.  Since I live in Huntsville and I need to have a support system, I decided to keep going to the support group meetings here at the hospital.  They are very good people and I will most certainly keep going to the meetings.  I believe they are the first thursday of the month.  As for the drive...there was people from Guntersville...and Athens...Yes, I know, Florence is a little further...but thats up to you.  I liked that there was advise from everyone including the nurse.  :)

Thanks for the information, I'm going to check on the meetings & maybe I'll be meeting you before long...
