Everything on here re: support groups is old/out dated. I was banded on 2/25/11 and am looking for a support group near me (Glen Burnie,MD). I had my surgery near DC which is a little far to drive, so if anyone knows where some are in my area please let me know.

If there are more bandsters then support groups in my area I am willing to hold meetings at my house. Maybe we could do a pot luck for all stages of the LB, Pre-op to small meals. Wouldn't that be a hoot. lol

I've never attended any support group, but I'm from MD and just wanted to say hello

I've been looking around and can't find anything online yet. If you find some information, please pass it on. I live in Waldorf, MD; Charles County. I haven't had surgery yet, am on my 3rd Nutritionist appointment and probably won't have surgery until July or August. Hopefully sooner. *crosses fingers* I'm down almost 15 pounds so far though, so Woot Woot!

I'm also from the AA County area. Have you found any support groups?? My Dr's office is in Catonsville. They have Lapband Support Groups every third Monday of the month.

Beebe,

I just found a support group that meets at at BWMC (North Arundel Hospital.) If you're still interested, here's the link with the info.
