I just wanted to let people know there is a forum for the community and anyone who is friendly and want to stop by. I was very active 3 years ago and would like to see it become active again. It is listed under "weight loss related"
I am not attempting to offend anyone. I understand that some might not agree with me posting. I am doing it to help LGBT people. Everyone has the right to not agree. I respect that.
Thank You !

If you have trouble finding it just PM me
Thanks! FP
I just registered for the AIDSwalk to raise money for the Whitman-Walker clinic. It's on October 29th at Freedom Plaza. They're also displaying the AIDS quilt (NAMES project) before the walk and there's a 5K that people can register for too (I'm not that ambitious yet. Walking is about as good as I can hope for!). I've been spending the past 6 months since surgery putting my feet where my mouth is and doing walks of things that I'm passionate about. If anyone is curious about the walk or wants to participate, here's the link: http://www.aidswalkwashington.org/

This year the event is in two locations: Baltimore and Pittsburgh. I’m going to the Pittsburgh one (even though I live in MD, I’m busy the weekend of the 29th but I still want to go!). The tickets are cheapest right now at the advance rate, but there’s only three more days to get that rate for the Baltimore event ****il Oct. 8). For the Pittsburgh one the advance rate ends the 15th. You can check out the details at www.bariatricfoodie.com.
The author of Bariatric Foodie is a member of OH, her screen name is Cleopatra_Nik in case anyone wants to PM her for information. You can see what she’s about on Bariatric Foodie. There are lots of recipes there for us post-ops along with other cool stuff. I really like her blog and what she does for the WLS community so I wanted to spread the word about this event. From talking to her, I can tell she really cares about us feeling good about the holidays AND that she wants to bring these events to more places if there is a demand. Let’s show her there is!
Also, I wanted to make sure folks knew about this great event and have the opportunity to buy when the tickets are cheapest!
Looking to help a friend out in need of WLS. She has United Healthcare through Medicaid.
Anyone with any experience with surgeons who take this insurance?
Thanks for your help!!
