I'm having surgery in 3 weeks.  Looking for a support group close by.  My surgeon in Dr. Schumacker and my surgery will be at Sycamore Hospital.  I am excited and a little scared.

The Kettering/Sycamore programs offer two support groups, one at Sycamore and one at the church by Kettering Hospital.  Dr Schumacher's office can give you the schedule...

Thanks Lora,

I did get a schedule of the support group meetings from Dr. Wade, but I live pretty far from both locations.  I don't drive and haven't been able to get a meeting yet.  So I am hoping to get in contact with a closer group or atleast someone i can contact online.  I'm sure i will get nervous as I get closer to my surgery.

Dr. Schumacher did my surgery.  Not to worry you will do just fine.  Dr. Schumacher is the best surgeon in my opinion.  Love him and his office staff.  His office will give you a schedule for a support group, just ask. Best of Luck...This is a wonderful journey.

Thank you. 
I really liked Dr. Schumacher from the first day.  My PCP thinks he's great.  I'm sure everything will be fine.  I had my EGD yesterday and everything went fine. 
Can't get to the support group at Sycamore or Kettering.  I hope to find some people who live closer to me for support.  Just incase i need some last minute reassurance.
