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!
