Hi Tracy! I am actually pre-op, but I am working with Drs. Afram and Buras. The doctors have a really great program, complete with post-op support meetings twice a week, which, I believe, are open to anyone who has had WLS. They are located off Washington Circle, near GWU. Here is their web site: http://www.obesitycenter.org/intro.htm Good Luck and maybe I will see you there Kathy

Have you seen the latest issue of ObesityHelp Magazine with the newly fit Big Will? He is on the cover of our Special Fitness Issue, which not only offers readers informative fitness articles but is the first issue introducing our "new look." You will find the same interesting and informative articles you have grown to expect from ObesityHelp Magazine, just with an updated appearance. The fitness issue introduces readers to fitness guru Scott Cole who explains the importance of fitness for kids; Dr. Aly prepares readers for body contouring surgery; while surgeons Dr. Owens and Dr. Dyer explain the importance of physical activity after bariatric surgery. You will learn how best to camoflauge your not so favorite body parts and learn to avoid dehydration before, during and after exercise. If you already subscribe, we hope you are enjoying this very special issue and if you have not yet subsribed you can log onto obesityhelpmagazine.com or email our store at [email protected]. This is an issue you will not want to miss!

I am a native Washingtonian currently living in Laurel, MD. I plan on moving back to DC in the fall. Are there any post surgery support groups meeting in DC? If so let me know which ones and where they meet. Thanks TL
