People from Manchester

[weeble]

Hi

There seem to be a lot of people from Manchester on here - or am I imagining it.

Are there any support groups around? I know there is one at Salford Royal - although they only mentioned it briefly once. However, I was told it was main?

Thanks

Salford Royal support group is the first Wed of every month and its really good. You usually get a talk of some sort....maybe one of the surgeons or we had a lady talking about bra fitting etc and its held in a big meeting room and theres tea and coffees and people just mingle around talking before and after the speech. Quite a few people from here attend them XX

I'll have to see if I can pluck up the courage to go. I'm such a wuss about meeting new people.

I will be going to the next Salford meeting hopefully

Hi Jacqui!

Do you know if people who did not have surgery there-like say...someone like....ME (surgery in California four years ago)-are permitted to attend? I would be happy to pay a fee if they need one?

When are the meetings?

Thanks!!

Im sure anyone is allowed to attend hun as theres no signing in or anything and people take friends or family with them..... I cant see it being a problem
Weeble Im exactly the same but it was really very relaxed....theres no stuffiness or airs and graces I will hopefully be there too so you could sit with me if you like XX

The Salford group is open to everyone and its usually a good meet. I wasn't operated on there but they've always made me welcome.

There is also a bi-monthly group at the Spire in Whalley Range that is a good group, and one in Ashton north Manchester each month too. If anyone want details let me know.

Look forward to seeing you guys there
