I know Washington hospital center has them the first Saturday of each month in DC. Idk if that's just for their patients though.

I am in north east Baltimore, and had surgery at GBMC with Dr. Bello in February. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Dovec and Dr. Bello and the whole comprehensive obesity program at GBMC.

Annapolis has support group meetings. Anne Arundel Medical Center. Not sure that's any better for you though.

Well I am sleeved! The surgery went well. I had major issues with nausea. The meds at first were not giving me relief, but they ended up putting a patch on and that made a difference.

The pain is pretty tolerable so no real issues in fact I did not come home with the pump. Really only one incision is sore. The other ones I hardly even feel. I am finding out my heating pad is very comforting and soothing.

After surgery getting up walking really helps to wake your system and get the gas moving. I also found that someone running my back ( like a baby) helped with the gas.

Overall I am doing fine.
