Anyone want to have a "support group" in PG or Howard county?

I live in Bowie (close to 495 though) and am willing to host...or we can meet for dinner some night. Or I'm personally willing to drive anywhere as far down as Upper Marlboro or as far up as Columbia or Glen Burnie. Anyone want to try for a meet up?

I haven't had the surgery yet but I would be soooooooo interested afterward.  I live in Upper Marlboro and HAVING to drive out to Baltimore could be challenging sometimes.  Unfortunately, I'm quite a ways out from having my surgery.  I have my first consult with the surgeon on Nov. 1.  But I would really love to stay in the loop if a support group does happen to come together in the PG or Howard area.

How about support group shopping at Columbia Mall? Who doesn't love shopping now? I know I do and I've even developed a bit of a problem with it LOL

Sounds like a great idea to me. When is a good time? I cannot make it to Columbia after work any earlier than 7:00 but I'd be all for meeting at a certain place in the mall at 7:00 sometime and hanging out for a bit.

7 p.m. would be fine with me. That would work great, actually, since my husband gets home about 6 usually, and that way he can stay home with our son and I can go sans child! lol

We could meet at Starbucks. It's right by an entrance so it's easy to find. It's by the entrance to the mall on the side with LL Bean if you are looking at the directory on the website.

Anyway, I could do Thursday or Friday or we could do next Monday if this week is busy. Friday evenings might be really crowded, though.

I NEED a support group sooooo  badly, don't care how big a group or how small.  I had RNY in May of 2007 and am still on this journey!  All of the sup[port groups that I have checked into are so far away.  I live in the Lanham area and would love to meet anywhere.  Please keep me posted!

I LIVE DOWN IN ST MARY'S CO AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MEET UP WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD BAND SURGERY.......IM NOT DOING WELL, AND I KNOW ITS MORE ME THAN THE BAND.....I HAVE 9.25ML ON A 11ML BAND....STILL EATING TOO MUCH.....HELP

Hello ~ I am more in the beginning stages of the process with Kaiser.  I would like to join a support group closer in than Holy Cross as I live in Bowie.  It is such a journey after work trying to make it up there for their existing support group.  So count me in.

We had a great support group in Crofton but they stopped having it. I would love to hear about all of your experiences and get support. I need to make a choice about surgery. Please let me know what you all decide.
