Fredericksburg Area?

I had gotten the name of the person that heads up a fredericksburg meet and greet last night on chat and i closed the window before writing down...of course!  So this was my way of reaching out! I am being banded on April 3rd and would love to make some new friends down here that are truly supportive.  I am origionally from RI so I don't know too many people down here. 

The lady that does the Fredericksburg meet and greet is Jacqueline Thodos and she is a real good and nice person. You can look under the peers to get how to see her profile and go to one of the posts that she has replyed to and click on contact and than you can get her to get in touch with you and tell her what you are looking for and she will be on line soon as she checks the board often.

Hi I am Jackie Thodos and I run a Support Group in Fredericksburg. If it is me you are looking for feel free to PM and I will help you in any way I can :-) Jackie

Welcome to the board!  I am in your area. I actually work in your area.  Good luck on your banding.  hopefully I will meet you at the meet and greet.

I see Jackie's been in contact with you -- she runs a great group -- a lot of good information and a lot of sharing of experiences.  I look forward to seeing you there!  :)

hey everyone!  I am so glad to see so many of you on here.  I am on another forum too for lap banders...is it ok if i refer them? 

Keep in mind as well that there are 2 Events each year that myself and David Becker hold. We are in the middle now of planning a summer event . This will include mostly meet and greet activitites in Richmond , and some motivational activities as well .  Stay tuned and watch for our post !  Nat

Invite them along -- the more the merrier!!!  :)

There is also an OH event on May 3rd at Ashburn, Va - near Dulles Airport and many of us will be there too - so you can meet people you see on the boards !! You can find it under EVENTS and to register you have to call the number at the bottom of the page. This year the event is free - for the first time  - as an experiment - so it is an excellent time to go!  And everyone *****gisters will get a goodie bag for being there!  Jackie

Good luck with you upcoming surgery.  I'm originally from CT and even though my sorry ass has been here for 10 years now, I still have yet to know many people.  These boards have really made me feel social again, and even better that we all have something VERY IMPORTANT in common.  :)  I hope to meet you one day at a meet-up.
