that's so funny! I was thinking the same thing, Clint and Stacey!!! I know, as soon as I found out there was a Lane Bryant, I was excited to go check it out. I liked it, best one I've been in!

Hello, I am new to this and I would like to hear more info on support groups in my area, Baltimore.

Hi Aristocate, welcome aboard. CrystalStar created this particular group that meets monthly. We have a good time and she moves the meetings around to diffrent locations trying to accomodate everyone in the group. Your local obesity centers, and lapband surgeons normally have monthly meetings.

Thanks for the welcome!

Hello All, Greg here. I did attend one of the meetings in Annapolis. Any chance of scheduling one closer to my area in Towson? I've been banded for close to three years, and could use some encouragement. Been stuck at the same weight for awhile! Really need to lose the last 50 pounds!!!!

Hi Greg,

How have you been? We have missed you the last couple months. I'm sure we can come up with something to work out for everyone. Maybe we could alternate each moth between areas. Maybe Anne Arundel Mills one month and some other place down this way the next. We were talking about bowling next time...The new Dave and Busters has a bowling alley . We're open to suggestions.

Hope to see you soon

Cristina

Hi Greg, nice to meet you. I use to shop at Kenilworth mall at Ulla Popkin in Towson. Wow you have worked that heck out of your band. Do you exercise? I'm having such a hard time incorporating exercise on a regular basis. A friend did make a promise to me last night that they will encourage me to exercise and will even walk with me. Easier said then done, especially now that it is cold outside.

Stocymd- that sould like a grand idea. I will go almost anywhere as long as I have some directions and a cell phone. LOL I have not been bowling in yearsssss but I'm excited. I think I will bring my daughter to the next one. We need to incorporate some activity in our meetings.

Is anyone interested in going to a gym on Saturday morning twice a month?

Hello everybody, At the last meeting I told a few I would put out the name of the Doctor in Baltimore that also does Lab Band at St.AgnesHospital, He is Andrew Averbach, M.D. There are a few that have had the surgey and put their comments on the OH Board. Can't wait to see everyone next meeting.
