I really need some friends/support who understand in NOVA

I had my band placed on 01/30/2009. It has been a struggle since to put it lightly. I have had about 6 or 8 months of good health and weight loss at the beginning of my journey. But I have been struggling ever since with a myriad of problems, from misplacement of my port and revision surgery to weight gain and major gastric problems. 

I am really hoping there are some people out there in Virgina that either have regular get togethers, belong to a support group, or wouldn't mind starting one up with me so we can all have people to talk to that actually understand what it is we go through. 

Thanks you!

Hi,

There are support groups but you don't say where in VA.  I assume since you said NOVA you are up in the D.C. area?  I know Fair Oaks Hospital had regular support groups but not sure now.  It's been awhile since we lived in that area.  Keep looking, you will find a group.
