TheBandedPeach 3 Posted July 8, 2011 hey yes! lets get a group started! i live in forest park so u r not that far from me! I know Forest Park! I grew up 5 min away in Oak Park where my parents live and in fact will be in that area today! I have an appointment with Dr. Teisenga, who was my surgeon and works at West Lake Hospital and has his own little office on Harlem too. Maybe we should meet at the support group that will be on the 18th of July? I am trying to find out where, but I am assuming that it will be at West Lake Hospital on Lake St. Let me know if you can make that date. It's a Monday. Maybe others will see this on here and want to join or I can ask people at the support group too if they want to join. It will be my first time going, so I'm a little nervous. There is a place in Oak Park called The Buzz Cafe...Maybe we could all meet somewhere like that or similar. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't mind talking about our Dr. T experiences too..mine hasn't been very good and found a forum with other Dr. T patients too who feel they had the exact same experiences as me, as me with them. Keep me posted on when you are free through email on here and I will work on getting the word out through the forums for people who want to start meeting up in Oak Park. Maybe once a month?...
