I’ve been lurking around here for about 3 months, so I figured it was time to chime in. I live in the Greenville area, but am having surgery in Columbia andI finally got a surgery date for August 7, only 2 two more weeks. I’ve done a lot of research in the past, but still feel unprepared so I will gladly accept any pre-op or post-op advice given. I also would like to be able to participate in a local support group. So if you know of one, I’d love to get more info.

Angela,
I live in Greenville area, but I had surgery by dr. Bour.  We have support groups there, but from what I undersand, it is for people who are on their program, that cost 2K fee.  (we all had to pay). So I am not sure if and how you could attend (probably not). 
I heard that there is a monthly support group in Spartanburg, but not sure.  Look at the post "upstate" and contact the person who post it.  She was also looking for a support group.
Good luck.

Hey Angela!  I'll be with you Aug 7!  Tribble is doing my surgery.  I'm coming from the opposite direction as you.  I live in Dillon and am also looking for a support group.  Hopefully, I'll see you in Columbia! ~Laura
