Martha, I haven't seen any support groups open to the public here. St. V's is for patients only and so is University Hospitals. Do you have a surgeon yet? I'm considering Cleveland Clinic's program (which is fairly new and doesn't even have a support group). I've spoken to one of his patients who is also dismayed at the fact that they don't have a support group. We thought of starting our own. Interested?

I am from the Cleveland area and I am having my surgery this Friday. I have spoken to alot of people from this area who are also looking for a support group. If you or anyone from our area is interested in setting up a local group drop me a note. Good luck with everything.
