We have talked about starting another one with the people in this group as well. thoughts? I am having my surgery at OHSU. I have attended a support group at OHSU. I would like to attend one that is not associated with the dept that is doing my surgery. Since I just found this website last week I am not sure what has been discussed but a simple meet up would be a place to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ageekygal 38 Posted October 11, 2014 I am getting nervous. Went to my last class on Wed. and my endoscopy came OK. So now just waiting for the OK from my insurance and that can take 2 weeks. I want a support group close enough to go to so I can keep up the momentum. I think a library (as mentioned by another poster) may be a good idea and there is one in Cedar Mill area by Bales Thriftway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
