Support Groups

People who have support tend to cope and manage oneself better when they have that extra support and hear from others who may have experienced the same as they did. I myself have had cholecystitis and had a cholecystectomy and wish I had the support from others who were experienced what I had. I think I would have been less scared going into surgery and it could of benefited me by learning from other people with the same disease. You can find local support groups in your area by searching on the internet. Here is a link to a website that helps find support groups for your diagnosis and that is in your area. patient.info/directory.

Here are some support groups online I found that answer questions you may have...

I would also encourage those with cholecystitis to talk to other people. It is interesting what you find out about other peoples stories and how the compare and differ from your unique story.
