Hi Nicole!  Pre-ops are definetly welcome to come to the meetings!  We usually have a topic to discuss each month but it is mostly open discussion on what members need help with.  We have people at different stages.  3 months out, a year and up to 5 years out.  It is basically sharing of information.  If you need to know about something usually someone has "been there done that".
As a pre-op I am sure you have lots of questions.  We are not medical people but we can share our experiences with you.
Right now we have about 10 - 12 members and hope to grow.  It would be great to have you join us!

Hi Allison,  We do think about you and keep hoping that our schedules will match.  Maybe the November schedule will work out.  We were also talking about doing something for the holidays and will be sure to keep you in the loop for that. 

Take care!

Linda
