sweety93 18 Posted February 11, 2013 I'm doing awesome . I haven't joined a support group but I need to make time to do so @NtvTxn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtvTxn 1,262 Posted February 11, 2013 I'm doing awesome . I haven't joined a support group but I need to make time to do so @NtvTxn Oh, you'd love it. It's nice to see other people and hear their stories. People further out are great sources for information and YOU can be helpful to 'newbies'!!! I plan on going to the one at Forest Park Medical Center this coming Wed. You should come! If you are interested, let me know and I'll forward you the email from the dietitian. Everyone is welcome, not just patients that had surgery at this hospital. We just bought a house in Plano in Nov. I may try to find something closer to us and attend it as well as the one at Forest Park!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweety93 18 Posted February 11, 2013 Thank you bunches for the invite. I truly feel like a support group would be helpful and I am going to look for one locally. I'm almost two hours away from FP Med center Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm almost two hours away from FP Med center Oh, that's too bad, I'm sorry!!! You'll find one closer, I'm sure of it. There are many to choose from. We moved to NE Plano from Valley Ranch, I still drove to Forest Park, but I googled and found several in or around Irving. Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NtvTxn 1,262 Posted February 13, 2013 If you find one close please let me know! What area are you in? What direction? I found two that are so much closer to me since we moved to NE Plano. We're closer to Frisco, Allen and even McKinney, than we are to the middle of Plano!! Anyway, I found two different support groups here in Plano. I think I'll try one or both and see which I like. One meets once a month, the other meets bi-monthly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NtvTxn 1,262 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm in Allen, let me know which one is better! Thanks so much! I sure will. If you're in Allen, you probably aren't far from where I am. Sometimes I grocery shop at the Market Street there on Bethany or the Kroger on McDermott. We like the Star Bucks there on McDermott too, we can almost always get a table!! We live off Hedgecoxe about three blocks. One side of Hedgecoxe is Plano, the other side is Allen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We live off Hedgecoxe about three blocks. One side of Hedgecoxe is Plano, the other side is Allen. I live right by that Market Street! I know exactly where you are! That is awesome! We should definitely meet up! I am still pre-op, I get my date next Tuesday when I meet Dr. Marsden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know where that Star Bucks is that I'm talking about on McDermott? I think it's right across from Home Depot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NtvTxn 1,262 Posted February 14, 2013 Yes I do know where that is! Ok, definitely, the next week is kind of crazy, but maybe the last week of February?? You let me know when, and I'll meet you. Sounds like fun! I attended that support group at Baylor Plano last night. Probably THE BEST one I've ever been to! It's once a month from 6:30 - 8PM. Also, from 6 - 6:30 there is a clothes closet, people donate clothes that have gotten too big for them, it's free. Take what you need, donate what you can't wear any longer. I wish I'd had something like this when I was giving all my stuff to Good Will......anyway....just let me know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
