After searching for groups in my area I decided to form one for people in Anne Arundel County Maryland. This group offers support on line and eventually scheduled meetings. We are not associated with any particular doctor, hospital or weight loss facility. Any one that wants to volunteer help with administration of the site just let me know. The value of associating with someone that has been through what you are embarking on or currently going through is a priceless gift. So if you are if you are pre-op, we will share our experiences; if you are post-op we ask that you join us and share your knowledge and experiences good and bad. Look forward to chatting with everyone.
