Hi Tamara, I can ask around for you and get back to you. But in the mean time utilize this online group to ask as many questions as you can. We are all here to offer suggestions and our first hand experiences. This is a pretty diverse group and our group has a lot of information to guidance to offer. If you are ever over on the peninsula in hampton please drop in on the Sentara support group meetings there as well. But I will ask about the beach.
Ask away,
Terry

Hi Terry
I live in VB near the Wal-Mart supercenter on Lynnhaven. My surgery will be in Portsmouth and I am having trouble finding a support group local. Is there one in VB you can recommend ? I have soooo many questions.
Thank you Tamara

started going to your local support group meetings I would strongly recommend it. It is important that he connects with a few people going through the same experience at the same time. The reason for this is that he will have a built in support group experiencing things simultaneously. That was a big thing for me when I went through it because I could call him and ask him what he had ate and how he was doing. > > Alot of Female patience have the surgery I felt that it was important to have another male to talk to. Men and womens bodies are different as we all know so I thought having anther guy to talk to beneficial. If you should have any other questions please feel free to ask. I have spoken to our groups support group meeting several times and if there is not another guy going through the surgery at the same time I would be more than happy to talk with him and keep him motivated.
