I attend the support group in Solon. I like to consider us a Rogue group since we are all from different programs and meet independently. Good support and also keeps your feet to the fire! It is nice to get a little different perspective from all the different programs that we come from as well as different points of the journey that all of us are on

Hi Pix,
I am going for my pre op on Thursday and my surgery is scheduled for July 19th with
Dr. Ben-Mier. I'm a little nervous which is normal and I have total trust in him. Its just nice to find someone else that had him for their surgeon.

Hi! I'm also using Dr. Ben-Meir. I've finished my pre diet - just waiting on insurance approval now. I'd love to compare notes. GL!

Mona,

We are meeting this Weds. night at 7pm. in Solon at the Methodist Church at the corner of Rt.91 and Cannon Rd. See Shoegirls post previously in this link. She is our group leader. If it wasn't for her and this group, I wouldn't be doing as well as I am. This is truly the best thing I have ever done for myself. EVER!! Hope to see you there. Getting involved in a group pre-op is a great idea. I wish I would have done it so I would have had a better idea what to expect.

Hello, my name is Mona and I was going to have surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, same dr as you but I decided to go to St. Vincents, I will have my first dr appt with my surgeon next month and I am really nervous, have attempted three time to have the surgery and got scared off each time. I am interested and finding out how you are doing now since you had your surgery.

I wish you good luck.
