Dr. Bell's support last nite..attn: chryssie and JA

Okay ladies...i feel like an idiot because i have no idea who that girl was that i was talking to next to me?? just had her surgery a couple of weeks ago?? i like to know who i am talking to deanna

The girl's name is Sherry. I am not sure how to spell her name but that is pretty phonetic. She was very nice and I am sure she will do great. Chryssie

I have a question. I am looking for a support group that meets on either a Tues/Wed/Thursday. When and Where does Dr. Bell's group meet? I saw e-mails saying Yale but Yale-NH is quite large. Also does it matter if you had your surgery by another surgeon? I really would like to get into a support group and I am trying to find one anywhere. Thank you. JoJo

JOJo, I believe Dr. Bell's support group meets once a month on the first tuesday of each month at yale New Haven Hospital in the Max Taffel Room. They schedule speakers and its a great group. I am personally preop and get a lot out of the meetings...and its a great bunch of people. they share all the hints and dont shun you for asking what you think are stupid questions. plus from what i can tell..dr. bell is awesome and i cant wait to meet with him one on one.... deanna

JoJo, oops ...... they are open to ANYONE !!!!!!!

The post-op support group at Middlesex Hospital meets the first Wed every month. Not a far drive from North Haven at all. Peter

Hi Deanna, Her name is Sherry, and she's a doll! I know her because she works in my dentist's office. Although she's not "officially" on the boards, she tells me she reads everything we write! SO SHERRY...GET ON THE BOARDS OFFICIALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JA PS She looks great already too!
