Lisa, Ken, and I are headed to AC today to meet up with a bariatric group based in Philadelphia who are having their annual meet and greet in Atlantic City. We're interested in getting to know these folks...they are very welcoming to newcomers but I'm also checking them out to see what we might be able to take away from this experience to try to have our own meet & greet.

I will be communicating with Alex to determine if a similar event can be organized for us as well. Just curious...let me know who on this site would be interested in something like this.

We have people from all over the country plus folks from outside the US as well so some would have to come a long way unfortunately. I have however, seen on the FB site for this event today, that people are coming from up and down the Eastern Seaboard and even from Canada.

Again...if you can respond and let me know if you are interested in trying something like this, please let me know so I can gauge if there's enough interest to follow up.

thanks all!

I guess it would all depend on when and where for me.

I'd be interested. I live in Philadelphia.

people are from up and down the Eastern Seaboard, Canada.

@@gowalking

meet 1/2 way between general areas like me (syracuse, NY) and other states

hard to do

maybe separate smaller groups w/ people living state to state

closer to each other

i would be game for that

ie california could have a separate group (i don't live there )

large state, but that is definitely a thought IMO

good idea

Do one in Kansas it's centrally located.

Great concept. I would be interested.

I live in New Jersey I'm interested

I would love to attend a meet and greet! I thought for sure there would be a lot of support groups, etc. here but there are not. It all comes down to location and scheduling for most though. Great idea!

There are alot of local support groups I DON'T go to so I have to be realistic, I probably would not go.

FYI, this is the group shot taken yesterday.

Nice to recognize a few from this site!

Any epiphanies? Or just new info?

Please share.
