Hey Erica, I'm in PG County. Congrats on your sleeve. How do you feel?

As much as I would LOVE a support group, I'd rather meet up with some cool people with real stories, positive conversation and maybe a bowling ball. Lol

Sounds good to me. I work in DC and live in PG.

I live in western MD and I am looking for a support group in Hagerstown or Frederick. I am having surgery in Baltimore at Bayview.

There is a support group in Hagerstown. They meet every third Tuesday of the month at 6pm at Robinwood Professional Center room 122a (yellow or green entrance).The May meeting we are doing a tasting of some different supplements.

I would love to have something like this.

I would join the social club and meet up every now and then :)

Not sure about you folks but I only get notifications when I'm quoted or liked (otherwise I'd sift through VST emails all day long), so I quoted you all to get the conversation about a social group going, since you'd all expressed some measure of interest.

I'm new to this area after four years overseas so I'm not terribly familiar with the area, other than knowing what's immediately around me and how to get where I need to go with a nav system.

I do plan to go to the May Inova meeting but it's not for a few more weeks. If any of you do attend, we could easily set up a social gathering in person for a week or so after that meeting. If you guys don't plan to attend or attend other support groups elsewhere, maybe someone more familiar with this region could throw out a couple of ideas on places to meet up?

I'm in Alexandria but willing to drive to a monthly meet up if necessary.

Anyone pre-op or in the loss phase in this area, heads up that I'm going to post some size 18/20 clothes (nothing fancy) in the clothing exchange if you're in need or know someone who might need them.

Has the May meeting already happened? Is it at Fair Oaks hospital? If not when is it, I would like to try to attend.

Here's where I got my info:

http://www.inova.org/healthcare-services/bariatric-surgery/patient-support/groups-and-education

It appears they do a first Monday meeting for those 2+ years out and one on the third Monday that seems more general and includes a speaker. My intent is to go to the one on the third Monday of the month, which would be the 20th.

Anyone in DC or in Prince Georges county? I had my surgery at Washington Hospital Center (WHC). I work in DC and live in MD. Looking for a support group in DC or PG. We may even have to start our own. WHC has a support group the first Saturday of every month but I think it is for pre-op folks. I am going to go in June just to see.
