I second the vote for Arlington (but that is just me being selfish, since I live in Arlington...)

I am moving a message from the local support board here, so as to cast a wider net. Some of us were hoping to organize a local meet-up. If you are from around DC and would be interested in participating, chime in! The more the merrier!!

Let's take a poll for dates: are weekends better for people? A Saturday vs. A Sunday? lunch vs. dinner?

My vote is a Saturday afternoon. How about April 30 or May 14? That gives people time to plan...

As for a place: Lebanese Taverna has small plates packed with Protein... Great food choices for us! There is one at Pentagon Row.

What do you all think? I am just tossing out ideas, hoping to get the ball rolling.

Hi, I am definitely interested in meeting up with some fellow sleevers in the DC metro area. I vote for May 14. Looking forward to it!

I haven't been on the site long and still don't know many people here but I'm down depending on when it is. I am located in Rockville, MD, but I'm willing to drive wherever

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
