Just saying hi (lap band in PG County)

Hi everyone,

I have not been actve on here here ages. I hope everyone has been doing well! I should probably make more real life contacts for support and stuff, though my life is so busy and most of the time I don't even think about my band, it's just become a part of me.

I met a small group of people in Baltimore nearly 2 years ago right when I had my surgery. I would love to catch up. Say hi sometime!

Hi back Ellen!  Pretty horse!

I would love to try and put together some kind of get together for Maryland folk -- maybe not a regular thing but every one and a while.  The OH conference in NY was my first "group" event of any kind and it was definately interesting to be around a group of WLS folk -- totally different experience.   

Hey! I always had trouble finding people in MD who aren't an hour or more away from me. I live in Bowie and would definitely go to Annapolis or crofton or something to meet.  I have several family members who are 5+ years post RNY but other than that I live on a WLS island, population: me. I notice the longterm RNYers I know don't eat the same as I still have to and plan on having to forever.

I met someone on the plastics board that is from Bowie too and she has a friend in the area -- i think they are both rny so between us we would have the full spectrum of WLS covered.  We had already talked about trying to hook up.  I am going to be out of commission for a few weeks - having plastics next Thursday but I will put out a few time/place options and see if we can't get something together.  

Sounds great. Good luck on your PS. Keep us updated on the plastics board! I am recovering from my TT in alabama with my family so I won't be back till early december probably. :(

I live in Suitland and would love to come to an event.

Hello All,

I am in Laurel and would love to participate.  I really haven't discussed my surgery at all and would love to be apart or a positive experience.  Still trying to reeach goal but its so hard alone.  Please keep me posted. Thanks!

Do you ever go to bingo in Laurel? It's epic.
