That rocks!!! Thanks for sharing! The evenings work better for me and twice per month gives me a better shot at making at least one of the meetings since I travel a lot.

Will there still be a meeting this month on Thursday evening Dec. 23? ...and is it at 5:30pm?

Thanks, again!

The New thursday night support does not start until January.  There is a Thursday Night support Group that should take place this Thursday.  It is strictly post-op.  What we have found is that having post-and pre-op classes together provides Hope for people thinking about having the surgery or for people working through the process.  That Hope keeps people focused on the long-term goal.  It helps them believe that it can be done.

Hope to see you at one of the classes.

What date is the Thursday evening class in December? I thought it was the fourth Thursday of the month at 5:30pm which would be the 23rd. Has that changed (for this month, I mean)? Thanks!

The Thursday post-op group will be meeting on Thursday (12/16) this month because of the holidays.  We will resume the 4th Thursday schedule in January.  Hope to see you there!!

Thanks for the update. I was not really sure. I was planning to send you and email. Hope the weather is good so I can come tomorrow.

Thanks, Jaime. I called Jessica at Vandy yesterday and she gave me the scoop. I'm plan to be there tomorrow. See you then!

Awesome...see you there in Jan!

 i'm glad to see they are offering another option during the week. the mid day one was not an option to me since i work in murfreesboro, but i can totally try and make the 5 pm. YAY for support group time.
