 I want to go, but it depends on if I can get child care and if the group is open to people who haven't even gone to orientation yet.  I'm still waiting for my letter to get the ball officially rolling.
Can anyone just drop in, or do you have to be part of the program and rsvp your attendance?

I started going three months before my orientation. As long as your referral has gone in to TWH, you're welcome there!

I will be there for sure...haven't been for a few months and miss it :)

If you have not been to the TWH group yet, it is worth it (in my opinion).  Considering I drive 1.5 hours each way for a 1.5 hour meeting...I think that says it all!!  The SW, NUT, and Psych are always there, as well as people at every stage in the process.

Awesome!!  I'll be there : )  I'm really shy in new social settings but I'm sure I'll warm up.

Question:  Is the support group just for people having the surgery or is it for their spouses also?

Your spouse/partner is welcome...I have been to a few meetings where there were friends/support people/spouses/family there too...the more the merrier...I am sure the Team at TWH would encourage it...the more support we have, the more successful we will likely be!

Looking forward to meeting you!
