Hi Everyone! My name is Tracey and I had a RNY June 11, 2007 and have lost now 127 pounds!!!!!  I really love support group and feel with everything I am going through, I better find one quick in the new area.  My husband was transferred to Washington DC with his company, but mine did not have an opening in the area, so I am back on the Job Market Search!!!!  I have two children, Geoffrey, 19 in college and Ethan, 7, in first grade.  Ethan was born with Down Syndrome - and is truly a joy.

Welcome Tracey, Good luck on your move and kudos on your success. We have a wonderful and active support group with Dr. Barry Greene's practice in Rockville (It is actually located right on the border to Gaithersburg, next to ShadyGrove Hospital) Contact the office for information regarding RNY post-op support meetings since I believe is on a different night than Lap Band meetings His website is: www.advancedwls.com Office: 301-251-4128 You will haev an abundance of support from both pateients and therapists. HTH, Ellie

I am in Baltimore, but I wanted to say WELCOME to Maryland!

I actually grew up in Gaithersburg but currently live in Frederick.  I attend the Carroll County support group.  It is a haul for you, but the people are wonderful there. Good luck on your move.  I know it can really be stressful.  I have 3 boys Andrew 21, Brad 13 and autistic, Ryan a very, very, very active 10 year old.  If you ever want to talk just let me know.

First, welcome to metro DC..... Hang on tight...It's a bumpy ride around here.... What industry are you in? Maybe one of us may have some ideas of where to look for that new job.  I lived in g-burg for 6 months but worked there for 4 years. I only live about 25 miles up Rt 270 now in Frederick, MD.  ~Kristina

I feel so welcomed!!!  Y'all are great! I am currently a District Sales Manager for Avon but they do not have any openings for that position in MD right now so I am back on the job market!  I have a very diverse background and can do most everything from sewing to administrative work and Insurance to Avon!  I will be going back into Leadership with Avon so if anyone wants to get signed up to sell, let me know and when I get there, I will get you selling.  I have put my resume into the Employment Agencies and actually have an interview with a bank on the 21st of March.  Any other suggestions???????? I look forward to meeting soon, Enthusiastically focusing on the POSITIVE!  Tracey

Many insurance companies in the area....  Is maybe Mary Kay similar in structure to Avon?  I have seen many Pink Caddies in the area... ~K
