Hey you might talk to your surgeon. Let him know you would be happy to run it. Maybe he can talk to the local hospital and get you a conference room for free. Our Sr. requires one support group meeting before he does the surgery. We have a meeting twice a month at our local hospital. A town next to us has one at a local church. Good luck. Lisa

Do you live near the hospital where you had surgery? If so, they should have support groups. If not, all you need to do is tell a few people that you want to meet. We started meeting at the mall and then we moved to a restaurant. We convinced the restaurant to come up with a menu for us "small portions, high protein." They did - we have about 30-40 people a month attend our meetings. Where do you live? Hope this helps - Michelle
