Hi All,

Does anyone know of any Support Groups in Montgomery County. I am having my surgery in Baltimore and don't want to have to travel there to go to a meeting.  I tried checking on the hospital websites but didn't see anything.

The Body Image Therapy Center has support groups for Bariatric Surgery patients less than a year out of surgery the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 7 pm and over a year out the 1st Wed of every month at 7pm in Columbia.  www.thebodyimagecenter.com  Groups are free and open to the public.  I haven't been there yet but I plan to go after surgery.

Its not in Mont Co but closer than Baltimore.

 Amanda, I vaguely recall Holy Cross has support groups every other Wednesday but not sure of time/contact info.
Shady Grove Adventist (Rockville) has post-op support groups weekly on Thursdays at 7p and preop support groups monthly on Thursdays at 5:30p. Contact Marie Priest at  [email protected] or call 240-425-4589.

Thanks for posting Marie's contact information.  I just emailed her.  My surgery will be at Holy Cross but Shady Grove is so much close to my house.  Glad to have found the Maryland forum!

Amanda,

Holy Cross does have a support group that meets the 2nd Monday and the 4th Wednesday of every month at 6pm.   In addition, there is also an on line support group as well.  The Bariatric Coordinator is Jeanne Ferber her number is  301-754-7878.  Any one is welcome to join the group.
