Hi Chloe,
Even though you havent seen the nurse as yet, you would be moe than welcome at our support group which is held once a month in SRH Education Centre. Next meeting is on 29th Sept 6-8pm. There are lots of post op and many pre-op patients there each month and the pre-oppers learn the good and the bad, which I think is a great support to pre-oppers. When I first went I was a week away from having my op and I was scared of the unknown but, after seeing many pre and post oppers there and the fabulous support that the whole group gave I was a whole lots less worried. My circle of friends became a whole lot larger and my confidence boosted, the welcome was phenominal. The same support is availabe here on WLS site. Liz who runs the Sunderland WLS group will be along to tell you the same and I apologise for stealing her thunder
xx
I look forward every month to being among friends who have jogged this journey and among those who are just starting. We make a fabulous group. xx
