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.

The Olney group meets next Wednesday, 4/30 at 6p. Please PM me for more info.!!!

@@graymittens Thanks for the information

Live in DC and had surgery at Sibley Hospital March 11. Down fifty pounds so far, but it's not easy! I had gastric bypass surgery. Glad to trade emails and be supportive if I can. Wrote a blog for guys on bariatric surgery on Word Press tha might be helpful to men.

My name is Natasha, Anybody from Maryland??!!

Hi Natasha, what part of Md are you from?

Hi I am in the Baltimore area. I am waiting for approval for revision surgery. I have the band, but I want the sleeve.

Please PM me if you'd like to lead or co-lead this support group!

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.

Who are you @@Alex Brecher and @@Dannipo? Neither of you started this chat and I see that you are posting the same message in many different chats. If you're not here for the discussion I ask that you not advertise here or whatever it is you guys are doing.

@@Aurora20032 I'm the founder of BariatricPal

@@Dannipo has volunteered to lead this local chapter.

Thank you for your concern.

Thank you for the information. I was in a different chat on another site and someone hacked the site. I had to be sure.
