I think we have several people who are would like to get together and I would be happy to make the arrangements and keep everyone posted if that is alright with everyone.

I also have no problem if bandsters from surrounding states want to join us.

Now, lets nail down our preferences with a survey. Any other comments/suggestions are welcome as well.

I only got 3 responses to the meeting poll. :cursing: Is there anyone else in the Maryland group (or surrounding area) interested in meeting for dinner in Baltimore?

Secondly, my husband has to have some tests done on the 18th in Salisbury so I can not make it over there that day. However, I will be in Baltimore on the 19th & 21st for an upper GI and a fill (hopefully). Is anyone interested in meeting on the 19th or 21st?

Thanks,

Laura

Laura - where are you getting your fill on the21st? I am getting a fill on the 21st with Singh at 4p. I could meet after that obviously for coffee or tea. I am not available before since I will be at work.

Hi - would like to meet other Marylanders. If someone wants to suggest some meeting options maybe this time it will work.

Please help!!!

I realize that its been a long time since anyone has talked about meeting in this group. I was banded in Nov. 2009, and I could really use the support.

I'm a Marylander (Bowie) and would love to meet in Baltimore, Annapolis, or Columbia. Pretty flexible. Having surgery on Jan 14 and very excited/ little nervous.

I no longer live in Maryland. I didn't have a support group while there. What hospital at you going to have your surgery?

Okay, it has been a while since I was here but for all you Maryland Bandsters, who still wants to get together? I am in Annapolis frequently now (especially during the legislative session Jan-Apr).

      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.
