In San Diego, we are fortunate to have several support group choices. Including the ones offered by Dr. Callery, Dr. Mueller, and Dr. Wittgrove. But I am wondering about the rest of the country. It appears that from several of the posts that many post-op patients are lacking some basic knowledge that is dispensed at these support group meetings and this web site goes a long way in picking up the slack for that missing info. But t is not thesame a going to these meetings.

I was just wondering, how many of you out there are offered the chance to attend support group meetings and how many actually attend?
Granted there are many of you that live a long way from where your surgery was performed, but what about the rest of you?

I'm just curious.
