Hello everyone in the DMV!! My name is Danielle and I will be leading or co-leading this local group. We are in the early stages of planning and we will keep you posted along the way. However, please feel free to contact me with any suggestions you may have to make the group a positive experience for everyone. I am located in Maryland.

Hello everyone just checking in to see how many people would be interested in the support group meeting location in the , Forestville, Clinton, Largo, or Waldorf area. I would like to aim for once a month on a standing day(example every 2nd Tuesday of the month). I am also looking for someone that is willing to partner to make this local chapter an amazing success. If you have other suggestions for locations please share them also.

Hello!

I think I posted in here a long time ago. Buuut...

I'm Baillie and I'm from Northern Virginia. Fairfax to be exact....Clifton to be even more exact. I'm not sure if I could make it up to Maryland for get togethers, but are there any plans for some in Virginia or even DC?

Hi I'm Rennae, I've been looking for local support groups and fitness pals in my area. But it doesn't seem to be that many or they're out there and I just haven't found them yet.

We have a regular support group meeting at MedStar Montgomery Medical Center in Olney, Maryland. We meet the fourth Wednesday each month. It that is convenient to you, we'd love to have you join us.

I am told any Bariatric Center of Excellence is required to have such a support group. Check with your surgeon or your hospital to see if they can refer you to a group.

I live in olney/ Rockville MD! Would love to have a support group or find one as I am struggling! Had surgery March 29th.. Gained 10 pounds after surgery and finally losing again.. So would love a support group!

Stop by the Medstar Montgomery Medical Center on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:00 PM. We would love to have you as we come together to support post-op patients and encourage pre-ops. We're a faintly new group, but we are steadily growing

Hello,

The funny thing is. Whenever. I think of get togethers I still think of them being centered around food. That being said maybe we can find a place that does tapas (small plates) and have a simple meet & greet there. Then we can branch out to other activities from there.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
