Yes, I will be there.

Well great! I will see you this evening and hopefully Beni as well!

If you both are going I will as well. If something comes up and you can't please let me know

I will be there. Will you be checking this or your fb? I don't see any reason not to go, just know that my hair looks like crap after being out in the rain and wearing a hat. Just warning you!

It was great meeting you guys!!!

So how was the meeting??? How many people were there? What is all discussed in the meeting? Was it worth going to? Was there any medical staff/doctors there? How long was it? I am really haoping to make it next month, especially since its right before xmas!! I am really gona need the support and tips to make it through that junk food holiday!!! Way to much food served at my family's house on xmas and new years!!

Not sure who knows or doesn't know but I found out today Bluepoint Surgical Group split up. The only dr in that practice is Halmi.

I don't know if I saw this or responded, but I would!

It looks like Dr Halmi left. Their website is now metrobariatrics.com. The main page refers to them as Bluepoint-Inova. Interesting!

I don't know. Halmi is still in the same office but looking for another office starting next month. I saw him last week.

Just not going to work for me. I am going to see Dr. Nain.

I think an offline (in person) support group for Northern Virginia would be a very good idea. How would we go about organizing one? I'm in Falls Church City.

Well a group of people can plan to meet and go from there. I went to one that was included at one of the hospitals and there were just so many people and everyone was talking over each other and it was pretty aggravating.

I go to a monthly support group meeting at the hospital (Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA), but I was thinking something once a week or once every other week would be good. I have not meet anyone else who has had this surgery, other than at the hospital support group. There must be lots of other people in Northern Virginia, not only patients of Dr. James Mayes or Dr. J. R. Salameh. But how do I find them, and find out if they are interested in starting a group?

Maybe something like a meet up group or even do it here. I would go.
