gowalking 10,790 Posted August 8, 2015 Lisa, Ken, and I are headed to AC today to meet up with a bariatric group based in Philadelphia who are having their annual meet and greet in Atlantic City. We're interested in getting to know these folks...they are very welcoming to newcomers but I'm also checking them out to see what we might be able to take away from this experience to try to have our own meet & greet. I will be communicating with Alex to determine if a similar event can be organized for us as well. Just curious...let me know who on this site would be interested in something like this. We have people from all over the country plus folks from outside the US as well so some would have to come a long way unfortunately. I have however, seen on the FB site for this event today, that people are coming from up and down the Eastern Seaboard and even from Canada. Again...if you can respond and let me know if you are interested in trying something like this, please let me know so I can gauge if there's enough interest to follow up. thanks all!

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted August 8, 2015 people are from up and down the Eastern Seaboard, Canada. @@gowalking meet 1/2 way between general areas like me (syracuse, NY) and other states hard to do maybe separate smaller groups w/ people living state to state closer to each other i would be game for that ie california could have a separate group (i don't live there ) large state, but that is definitely a thought IMO good idea kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wantingabetterlife 364 Posted August 8, 2015 I would love to attend a meet and greet! I thought for sure there would be a lot of support groups, etc. here but there are not. It all comes down to location and scheduling for most though. Great idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted August 9, 2015 There are alot of local support groups I DON'T go to so I have to be realistic, I probably would not go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
