Hi If you go here: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/events.php you can click links to local events and see the OH regional events schedule. Good luck!

I read lots of profiles for inspiration from the before/after photo page. Often I read about members who attend WLS functions, luncheons, discussions, even cruises! Anyone know about any in the MD/VA/DC area? I am almost 3 months out from open RNY and feel great. Would like to meet other patients in my area. Cynthia S.

Hello and happy Holidays! Do you know of any lap band information meetings in the DC metropolitan area? I would really like to attend one during the first week of January. Warm regards, Isabel

This time of year can be a very stressful time for everyone. You might remember just a few weeks back we introduced Dr. Roger Gould, Dr. Gould has been working with us to create a forum dedicated to "Emotional Eating". We expect to launch this in early January. Dr Gould is making available a web application he developed to help people cope with holiday stress. As we all know, during the holiday season the stresses that we face create obstacles that make eating or "snacking" a real problem. This link leads you through some useful material that can really help you cope with the stresses you face.
