My surgery is being done by Dr Nain' date=' bluepoint surgical group in Woodbridge, VA. They have a great support group meets 1st Thursday of the month.[/quote']

Sandy I went last month!! I sat in the back next to Stephania, we came in a couple mins late! Were you there? I'll be there for the Nov meeting too! I'm heading into my EGD shortly with Dr. Nain! My surgery date is Nov 20 hope to connect with you soon!

I live in Arlington & go to Xsport in Alexandria . Not too far from there.

Any idea about the ages for childcare there? The website doesn't go into detail. I don't currently work out - I'm three years out and had a baby in March so I'm trying to lose those last ten pounds and really need to try and build some muscle, too. Plus, you know, stop being a lazy slug! If you're still looking for a workout buddy, I might be able to do that if the childcare makes a membership worthwhile. I'm terrible about getting to the gym or working out if it's just me, but if I have friendly competition and have another person or a group for motivation I do really well.

Oh, and I highly recommend anyone interested in local support join the FB page (it's several posts back) and come out to the meeting at Joia's on Sunday! If I do say so myself, we're a great group.

I am not quite sure , but I do know they have one there. I think the child has to be at least 6 months my neighbor said . I would suggest calling them . I'm up for a gym buddy still . I have been going 5 times a week but I've been traveling a lot and haven't been going that many days . I'm getting back to it

I can't do Sunday this week but am in Montg Cty and would be interested in what you're doing! I'm concerned about FB because I haven't told many about the procedure (I was sleeved in March) and don't want to now

I am in the same boat. I don't have Facebook acct . I use my husbands. I don't want people to know I had the surgery.. Because I don't want hear the negative comments..
