Hi Ladies and Gents!
I just relocated back to the DC area (Arlington-Shirlington Village) and loving it.  Now I need a support group to continue my journey and lose about 30-40 lbs.  Can you please let me know where I can find a good group to join?

Thanks -
Iman

Try Fair Oaks Inova Hospital  they have a great nutrionist WLS  and support groups.  I imagine Alexandria or Fairfax Inova may have support groups, but now sure.     Fair Oaks is the best in the area.  

Welcome to the VA forum    We look forward to hearing from you.

 Welcome back to the DMV, like Caroline said Fair Oaks is probably your best bet. I go to the support group in the woodbridge area, it's a struggle for me to get there on time and I'm coming from Alexandria. .

The Fairfax (not Fair Oaks) hospital support group is good - it's tonight, in fact! A handful of us meet for dinner beforehand at a nearby restaurant, so let me know if you'd like more details. The meetings are the first Tuesday of each month. I don't know anything about the one at Fair Oaks.

Hi there,

I go to the group in Woodbridge, but have heard the fair oaks one is good as well.  

If you are interested in getting together sometime, just send me a message!  I would be interested in finding a buddy close by
