There are different kinds of support given as some issues are better handled in a group support atmosphere while others require one on one with a psychologist, kind of support.
The support group will help in facilitating relationships with other patients who have been through the same procedure as you. The advantage of participating in a support group is that, those who attend support groups can provide diverse and/or unique solutions to the problems you are encountering which is vital. Also, the professionals that facilitate the support group have in-depth experience and act as an ongoing resource to ensure you are receiving the care you need to be successful in your post operative period.
